The International Military Tribunal (IMT) at Nuremberg, organized by the Americans, but held in unison by all four victorious powers, gave the lynching of the German political elite a pseudo-legal cover. To this day, orthodox scholars laud this high-profile lynch party as a paragon of justice – which tells more about those scholars than about that tribunal.
After the IMT, the Americans conducted a number of further lynch parties in Nuremberg all by themselves (NMT). These were a continuation of the decapitation of Germany started at the IMT, although the other three victorious powers refused to cooperate, as they had their own fish to fry.
The contributions listed here take a critical look into these trials.

By Richard A. Widmann- Recent news accounts tell how the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have located the long-lost diary of Alfred Rosenberg.
