Twenty-four major political and military leaders of Nazi Germany, indicted for aggressive war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, were brought to trial before the International Military Tribunal.

Documents in this extensive collection include the official proceedings of the trial of the major war criminals (The Blue Series), documentary evidence and guide materials from that trial (The Red Series), the official condensed record of the subsequent trials (The Green Series), and a final report on all the war crimes trials held in Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949.

Malmedy Massacre Investigation - Malmedy, Belgium - On December 16, 1944, the German Army began the Ardennes offensive known as the Battle of the Bulge. On December 17, 113 American soldiers surrendered to a German armored column under the command of SS Colonel Joachim Peiper [variant: Piper]. After the American prisoners were disarmed, they were assembled in a field near Malmedy, Belgium, and shot. The German soldiers involved in this massacre of the American prisoners were later prosecuted by the U.S. Army for war crimes. Korean War Atrocities - Hearings held to bring to "the attention of the world in general and to the American people in particular" the type of enemy the U.S. was fighting in Korea, "to expose their horrible acts committed against our troops, and to foster appropriate legislation." Of those who gave testimony at the hearing, 23 were American servicemen who were either survivors or eyewitnesses of the war crimes; the remaining six were former Army field commanders or officials of the War Crimes Division in Korea, including Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway (Chief of Staff, U.S. Army), former Commander of United Nations Forces in Korea. Although 26 photographs and other materials are introduced as exhibits in the hearing, only seven are actually included in the original printed documents and, therefore, have been included in the electronic versions linked below. A note in the original printed text states that the remaining exhibits, which are not included in the documents, "may be found in the files of the subcommittee." Each of the three parts of the hearing includes an extensive subject, name, and geographic place name index.
