International military tribunal
Variant namesRepresentatives of the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France organized the International Military Tribunal (IMT) in 1945 to try cases against twenty-four Nazi leaders. Between 20 November 1945 and 1 October 1946 the IMT was convened, and verdicts were handed down on 30 September and 1 October 1946. The verdicts resulted in twelve death-by-hanging sentences, seven life terms, and three acquittals. The author of most of the documents and papers in the collection, Alfred Rosenberg, was born in Estonia in 1893 and fled to Germany in 1918, where he joined the pan-Germanic and occult Thule Society. He spread his antisemitic and anti - Bolshevik views through such works as Die Spur der Juden im Wandel der Zeiten (The Track of the Jews through the Ages [1919]) and Unmoral im Talmud (Immorality in the Talmud [1919]). In his popular work, Der Mythos des 20. Jahrhunderts (The Myth of the Twentieth Century [1935]), he argued that race was the main influence that shaped all aspects of culture. Rosenberg rose to power within the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party. As editor of the main Nazi paper Voelkischer Beobachter and head of the Foreign Policy Department, Rosenberg worked to systematize Nazi philosophy and ideology. In 1946, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg sentenced him to death. He died by hanging on 16 October 1946.

The International Military Tribunal was established after World War II to prosecute the most notorious German war criminals in what has come to be known as the Nurnberg trials. Thirteen war crimes trials in all were held, twelve of which were held upon indictments filed by Brigadier General Telford Taylor, United States Chief of Counsel for War Crimes, acting on behalf of the United States of America. The first of these trials, United States versus Karl Brandt, et al., concerned medical matters. It is the documentation of this trial which comprises this collection.
