That sounds expected? I read Telford Taylor's book about the first Nuremberg trials. Of the 24 accused, three were acquitted. The jury (and even Taylor, who was the lead prosecutor) felt that some people deserved to hang and others didn't. Not everyone in a position of authority beared equal culpability for the war.
Maybe some Krupps were evil and others not; guilt by family association is not a thing in the western legal framework.
