Answer 1

Explanation:

The Allies did not want to be harsh on the defeated Germany as they had been after World War I.

The Nuremberg Tribunal sentenced only 11 leading Nazis to death for their brutality and their crime. Other Nazis were imprisoned for life. Though their crime was very brutal yet this time Allies did not want to be as harsh on defeated Germany as they had been after the First World War. This time they felt that German experience at the end of the First World War formed the background to rise of Nazism.
