Hopefully more consequential than the ACTUAL Nuremberg Trials, because those were largely useless.
Depending on what you consider useful, they did actually execute nazis at Nuremberg
NUREMBERG TRIALS
"In all, 199 defendants were tried at Nuremberg, 161 were convicted and 37 were sentenced to death, including 12 of those tried by the IMT. Holocaust crimes were included in a few of the trials but were the major focus of only the US trial of Einsatzgruppen leaders. The defendants generally acknowledged that the crimes they were accused of occurred but denied that they were responsible, as they were following orders from a higher authority."
Most of them ended up working in the US or fleeing to Argentina among other places.
All the hubbub was over 37 fucking people in response to millions and millions of deaths. I'm not saying it wasn't a good thing to happen, I am only saying that all the fuss was much ado about nothing.
On saying we are discussing executions on American soil
