Were the nuremberg war crimes trial fair?
Not that there’s anything we can do about in now, but it seems that justice was handed out arbitrarily in all the war crimes trials, both in Europe and the Pacific. Karl Dönitz was tried for conducting a campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare, when that is exactly what we did in the Pacific. Everyone in Germany who was deemed important enough to get a paperclip on their file (Operation Paperclip) was spared the trial process and shipped to the United States, people such as Werner von Braun, who designed the rocket that took us to the Moon. In Japan, all the members of Unit 731, and the rest of the biological warfare units were granted immunity in exchange for all their research data.
