This photograph shows Nazi defendents who were convicted of World War II war crimes: Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Wilhelm Keitel. The original caption reads: “Nuremberg Trials. Defendants in their dock; Goering, Hess, von Ribbentrop, and Keitel in front row, circa 1945-1946.”
It comes from a series of photographs from the Office of the United States Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality showing the trials of the major German war criminals before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremburg, Germany.
