INTERNATIONAL MILITARY TRIBUNAL AT NUREMBERG
The trials of leading German officials before the International Military Tribunal (IMT) are the best known of the postwar war crimes trials. They formally opened in Nuremberg, Germany, on November 20, 1945, just six and a half months after Germany surrendered. Each of the four Allied nations—the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France—supplied a judge and a prosecution team.
