Although more than 40 years have passed since the end of World War
II, the subject of Nazi war criminals remains a timely and
emotionally charged topic of interest to scholars as well as the
general public. Administered jointly by the four major Allies, the
Nuremberg trial of Hermann Goering and Joachim von Ribbentrop,
among other Nazi leaders, has drawn much attention over the years.
It was the U.S. Army, however, which was most active in bringing
Nazi war criminals to justice and, between 1944 and 1947, the army
prosecuted 1,672 individuals for violations of the laws of war.
Most of the army's trials remained obscure and little-noticed, even
though they dealt with almost 90 percent of all defendants in the
American zone. This study examines the treatment of prominent and
lesser-known war criminals in the U.S. Zone of Occupation, covering
both the trial and clemency aspects of the American war crimes
program. In addition, it also explores the relationship between the
war criminals issue and U.S. efforts to democratize the Germans,
German nationalism, U.S. constitutional issues, the cold war and
German rearmament in the 1950s. Finally, the study analyzes the
extent to which the U.S. Army war crimes program achieved its
stated goals. Based on unpublished sources from both the United
States and West Germany, many of which have only recently been
declassified, this book provides fresh insight on Nazi war
criminals and their treatment, as well as important issues relating
to post-war Germany. This book will be of special interest to
scholars and historians specializing in European and modern
history, post-war Germany, U.S. foreign relations since World War
II, the Holocaust, and U.S.military justice and war criminals.
