00:00:00:00 - The Fall: Germany has fallen. The once feared dictator, Adolf Hitler is dead. The allies are closing in. Senior Nazis begin to sweat. The FΓΌhrer can no longer protect them. The US army are catching up, entering Berlin with a firm plan to capture as many Nazi officials as they can, their aim to bring them before a court on trial for the atrocities they helped make possible. In the course of the next few days, the remaining senior members of the Nazi establishment begin to flee Berlin. The wheels were in motion. Top Nazi officials have targets on their backs. They need to make a decision...and quick. Do they attempt to run, or die in Berlin with their FΓΌhrer. It is every man for himself.
00:43:13:14 - The Trial: Twenty four Nazi officials are brought into the courtroom at Nuremberg, Germany. The biggest trial in history is about to begin. Being broadcast around the world, the public is waiting, hoping these criminals will see justice for their atrocities.

Key Nazi party members were up against the International Military Tribunal; Hermann GΓΆring; Reichmarschall and Commander of the Luftwaffe, Rudolf Hess; former Deputy FΓΌhrer, Albert Speer; Minister of Armaments and War Production and Joachim von Ribbentrop; Reichminister of Foreign Affairs.

He was the next target.
02:09:43:18 - The Verdict: The Nuremberg Trials are coming to an end. The public anxiously await a verdict. The Nazi officials on trial hoping they will be given a lesser sentence for providing new information. Some still believe they are above the justice system.
