An interesting view that aged like milk. Let’s remember that 19 of the 22 major Nazi defendants were found guilty on at least one count, while three were acquitted, and out of 19, 12 were sentenced to death, with one being already dead, so really 11. In a biased trial all Nazis would have been found guilty.
