"Judgement at Nuremberg"
is on tv right now....on Wisconsin Public Television....I've just seen a few minutes of it...it's chilling....

the judiciary was changed "for the protection of the country".

"...expansion of the death penalty"

"...judges required to wear a swastika on their robes"

"...judges either resigned or "adapted"."

4. during the Vietnam War, there was discussion that
some legal scholars in US at the time of the Nuremberg trials said finding German leaders guilty of the charges could have grave consequences for a future US.......ie, a precedent about war crimes had been set that would be applicable to all countries, whoever they might be
