Nuremberg:Fair Trial or Show Trial?
I don't know how you can fight a world war against a country and then sit in judgement with impartiality. Why didn't they use judges from neutral countries such as Ireland, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland? What was the prosecution afraid of? A lot of prominent judges and jurists of the time condemned the trials as victor's justice and an example of a kangaroo court. One standard for the Axis and another for the Allies. US supreme court justice Harlan Fiske Stone referred to them as a "lynching party" and a "sanctimonius fraud".

One of the most blatant examples of a double standard would have to be the invasion of Poland. Germany invaded that country on September 1 1939. The Soviet Union also invaded Poland on September 17 1939 in keeping with the nazi-soviet pact and they divided that country between them. But at Nuremberg the prosecution was saying the German invasion was wrong but there was no condemnation of the soviet invasion.
