War crimes trials and the U.S. Army -- American investigators at Mauthausen -- The prosecution crafts its case -- The defendants in the dock -- Judgment at Dachau -- Introduction -- Conclusion.
The Mauthausen trial was part of a massive series of proceedings designed to judge and punish Nazi war criminals in the most expedient manner the law would allow. There was no doubt that the crimes had been monstrous. Yet despite meting out punishment to a group of incontestably guilty men, the Mauthausen trial reveals a troubling and seldom-recognized face of American postwar justice - one characterized by rapid proceedings, lax rules of evidence, and questionable interrogations.
