you are being dishonest. Only 161 people were convicted at Nurembourg trials, Nazi Germany's population was 70 mln (I am not even including Italy or Japan). The rest of the Nazis were given amnesty and continued working for the USA, or continued living/serving as usual as part of West Germany's Wehrmacht forces. The whole process was heavily politicized and completely sham, massive tortures were used to obtain "evidence" of guilt.

What sort of punishment do you think would have been appropriate for the systemic extermination of an entire race of people? And for starting a war that killed tens of millions? For an illegal coup against the government of a country (which is what the Nazis did in 33)? How could you think that 161 convictions was enough for this? Far more than that had direct agency and culpability for those crimes.

  don't you think that if there was some form of systematic extermination system, there should have been more than 161 people involved in it?????? this basic contradiction basically tells you that it was all bogus, either there was no systematic extermination, or there was not enough people brought to justice for their crimes. How many people do you think are required to do anything systematic on the territory spanning from France to Belarus ? 161 people is probably the headcount of my local DMV office. also, the fact that mainstream western history over-indexes on the plight of one ethnic group (6 mln dead), and completely ignores the deaths of Soviets (27 mln dead) or China (20 mln) pretty much seals this whole thing as bogus politicized process. Typical eurocentric history rewriting, while simultaneously white-washing the crimes of the same white europeans I am not even mentioning genocide of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki via nuclear bombs and genocide of civilians in Dresden: all three cities were basically civilian with no large military armies in there. Mostly women elderly and kids died
