From November 20th, 1945, until October 1st, 1946, the International Military Tribunal (IMT) convened in the principal courtroom for criminal cases (room No. 600) in the Nuremberg Palace Of Justice. At the conferences in Moscow (1943), Teheran (1943), Jalta (1945) and Potsdam (1945), the three big powers (USA, USSR and Great Britain) had agreed to try and punish those responsible for war crimes. Designated by President Harry S. Truman as U.S. representative and chief counsel at the IMT Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson planned and organised the procedure and served as Chief Prosecutor for the USA. He recommended Nuremburg as site for the trials for several reasons. The Palace of Justice was spacious - it had 22,000m2 of space with about 530 offices and about 80 courtrooms war damage was minimal and a large, undestroyed prison was part of the complex. The prosecution entered against 24 'major war criminals' and against 6 'criminal organisations': Hitler's Cabinet, the leadership corps of the Nazi Party, the SS (party police) and SD (security police), the Gestapo, the SA and the General Staff and High Command of the army.
