Even with Nuremberg style trials that would still only have been a PR stunt. German police still has yearly reports about the issues they have with right wing nuts and racism in the force. You would have to replace both the entire chain of command and institute checks to keep things from repeating, one alone is not enough.
- p-e-w 4y ago> that would still only have been a PR stunt I strongly disagree. Symbols matter, a lot. Such a mass trial (with potentially thousands of defendants – those doctors didn't cook up all of that by themselves, after all) would have sent a strong message that such behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and that medical professionals and other authority figures who believe themselves to be above the law are gravely mistaken. What happened instead is that everything was swept under the rug and when it all became public, people were told that the profession had moved on and those things wouldn't happen anymore. Which sends the exact opposite message.
