I am watching a BBC doc about the Nuremberg trials. It is overall propagandizing against the concept of trying crimes against humanity at all. Due to, as described, the british position: it’ll just be another chance for the defendants to present their position to the world so better to hang them and be done with it.
Q: Agree/disagree with the above? Both in the specific instance, and in general.
It was the first, but not the last, such proceeding. What are we learning from subsequent?
execution by firing squad is reserved for elites and officers. these ones were hung t emphasize of their low, degraded situation. the ones who were sentenced to death, anyway. which wasn’t all of them. within a few years, most of them were free.
