Hi Eddy - not trying to falsify history - Krupp was a defendant at the first, most famous trial, but was not tried due to incompetence - I believe he had a stroke - and I don't have the names of all the 185 defendants at the 12 Nuremberg trials, I've only seen the names of the defendants at the first, most famous trial - but this is how I've seen it reported -
>>The Nuremberg defendants were divided into groups, mostly according to their wartime
activities and positions. There were, for example, the "medical" trials, a prosecution of
doctors and other medical officials for the hideous experiments that maimed and murdered
countless concentration-camp inmates and POWs.
Those defendants were the white-coated killers who had injected helpless people with urine
and gasoline and typhus, who had ruptured prisoners' lungs in high-altitude experiments, who
had sterilized men with massive, burning doses of X-rays. Twenty-three defendants were
tried in that single proceeding. Seven were acquitted; seven were sentenced to death; nine
others went to prison, some of them for life.
All 12 trials were convened under an Allied mandate called Law No. 10, promulgated
pursuant to the 1945 London Charter on the prosecution of war criminals. The dozen trials
involved some 185 defendants split into five general categories, each category tried in two
or three separate trials.
Twenty-two government ministers faced justice, along with 56 members of the police and
SS. Twenty-six military officers, 39 lawyers and doctors (including those in the medical trial),
and 42 financiers and industrialists completed the list. Four of the accused committed
suicide; four more were excused from prosecution because of age or illness. Of the 177
actually tried, 35 were acquitted. Twenty-four of the rest were sentenced to death. Twenty
more received life sentences; 98 were sentenced to prison for a term of years. <<
