Files of the Nuremberg Trials published online | Eastern North Carolina Now

Anna C. from disclose.tv has the following.

"On the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg trial of the major war criminals of World War II, Stanford University digitized the historical files of this trial and made them publicly available online.

From November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946, leading representatives of the National Socialist regime had to answer before an international military tribunal. The 24 main defendants included Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel and Karl Dönitz.

The documents were provided by the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington has digitized the documents. Stanford University made the files searchable using text recognition and divided them into types of documents such as charges, closing arguments, pardon, and witness lists.

Over 5000 files are now online

It took around 20 years to digitize 5,215 files: A total of about 270,000 individual pages or 50 terabytes of data. About two-thirds of the files are in German. The archive also contains restored audio recordings from Nuremberg that are 75 years old.

The collection can be viewed under the name “Taube Archive of the International Military Tribunal (IMT) at Nuremberg (1945-1946)“. Files such as the closing argument by Wilhelm Keitel, Field Marshal General of the High Command of the Wehrmacht, can now be viewed online without registration.

In addition to the trial files, the research group plans to add another 1,000 hours of audio and six hours of film material. They contain recordings of the legal proceedings against the 24 main defendants. These recordings should follow in mid-2022."
