International Military Tribunal

The International Military Tribunal (IMT) was established by the four major Allied nations (US, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and France) to try the leading German officials for their crimes during World War II (1939–1945). The Holocaust (1933–1945) was not the main focus of the trial, but considerable evidence was presented about the Nazis’ “Final Solution.” Twenty-two defendants stood trial at the IMT, which opened in Nuremberg, Germany, in November 1945.
