[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 656439, member: 44360"] No that is incorrect, these were the terms of indictment(if you are talking about the most famous trial of the leading figures). The Doctors and Judges trials are generally more holocaust based, other German figures with little connection to the holocaust were also charged in other seperate trials. 1.Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace 2.Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace 3.War crimes 4.Crimes against humanity The last one deals primarily with the holocaust though part of 3 could be tied in as well. Some specific cases of Nazi or (German military) leaders charged with little to no involvement in the holocaust Admiral Doenitz was charged with waging unrestricted submarine warfare(and the American head of the submarine service actually defended him saying that was their policy also). Admiral Raeder was charged with waging aggressive warfare(mainly for planning and advocating the Norwegian invasion, something the Brits had strongly thought of doing themselves though obviously their occupation would have been of a different nature). Walther Funk, Minister of economics(very loose connection to holocaust with the liquidating of Jewish possesions, even Goering described him as a lowly subordinate). Schact was also charged in a similar vein, despite he himself having been in a concentration camp since 1944(he was acquitted at least). Von Papen, previous Chancellor of Germany who only served the reich in Ambassadorial positions,(was acquitted) General Jodl, waging aggressive war, condemned to death and later acquitted posthumously when it was shown he had commited himself to only military affairs. Keitel, stronger case here as he signed execution orders and war crimes documents(in particular the Commisar order), was more guilty of having no moral resistance to Hitler rather than being a horrible human being himself.
