#1

The final day of the Nuremberg Trials began. The purpose of the proceedings was not only to prosecute the highest echelon of Nazi war criminals, but also to reveal to the world once and for all the true extent of their depravities.

#2

The most anticipated testimony begins on March 13, 1946, when Hermann Göring is called to testify. He was arrested on May 9, 1945, by the U. S. Seventh Army’s 636th Tank Destroyer Battalion. Göring had risen to become commander of Jagdgeschwader 1, nicknamed the Flying Circus.

#3

Göring was the second-most-powerful man in Germany during World War II. He was in charge of forestry and economics, and he designed his own elaborate uniforms.
