AI notes: On October 16, 1946, the aftermath of the Nuremberg Trials reached its final, grim conclusion. Hermann Göring, the highest-ranking Nazi leader on trial and designated successor to Hitler, committed suicide by ingesting cyanide just hours before his scheduled execution. Göring’s suicide shocked the Allied authorities and marked a dramatic end to one of the most prominent Nazi figures. Later that day, ten other leading Nazis, including Rudolf Hess, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Julius Streicher, Fritz Sauckel, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart, were hanged in Nuremberg. Their executions were carried out under Allied supervision in accordance with the sentences handed down by the International Military Tribunal for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The hangings were a historic moment, symbolizing the Allies’ effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice and setting a precedent for international law.
