Adolf Hitler loved Nuremberg — it was there that he and his Nazi Party held huge, stunning military parades. After the Second World War, the Nuremberg trials later took place in this city, holding high-ranking Nazi officials accountable for their atrocities before an international military tribunal. Why did all this happen in Nuremberg exactly? Find out with DW’s Lukas Stege!

  1. I visited both the Albrecht Durer House and The Nuremberg Trials: Memorium Nuremberg Trials. Both enjoyable. Had the little Nuremberger Bratwurstchen 3 nights at Bratwursthäusle and had great conversations with strangers at my table each night – the last night was a Friday and was at a table of local residents who come there regularly. But there I discovered the local liquor/schnapps called Burggeist. Very flavorful and a little sweet. I really enjoyed my 3 days there.

  2. What is always giving me the chills, is how Munich (the capital of the movement) seems to get away when it comes to Nazi crimes. Every documentation points to Nuremberg, but not to Munich.

  3. If you want know the future, look up the past.
    My observation tell me that the FUTURE will look Almost exactly like past 1940.
    ALMOST -Because every episode of history is original.

  4. Die mastersinger von Nurnberg , Wagner i maestri cantori di Norimberga. Per gli standard Germanici , una famosa e pittoresca cittadina Della Germania. Dove nelle abitazioni, vi e' quasi più legno che pietra. Dimostra la spigolosità delle persone del centro/nord Europa. Comunque patria di buona e ottima cultura musicale.

  5. We visited Nürnberg for first time last year. Our highlights were:

    Germanisches Nationalmuseum
    Albrecht Dürer Haus
    Underground beer cellar tour

    Love to visit again!

  6. The ICC is not about justice, it's only about stigmatizing and vilifying the only democratic country in the Middle East. Nothing about the bloodthirsty, murdering terrorists.

  7. For real authentic WWII information and tours you have to travel with Tony Cisnerious, as he wins and operates AlpVentures. Most of these guys in the internet are bogus and include their own twist…Tony does reality.

  8. Wonderful video. I toured this city and the Dokumentation Center in 2012 (I think it was). Fascinating. I wish you would have talked about the infamous "Golden Room" that supposedly very few besides the Führer went into which was somewhere in the arch of Zeppelin Feld.

  9. I'm a US Army soldier got out and,,, love Nuremberg. Flew back. Gastronomy, partying, culture, ladies, and "continuity" lifestyle. The best. 25 years of my life.
    Its too bad, it wasn't all recorded.
    This is not a flash in the pan.
    There is much more beautiful places to experience.

  10. I have visited Nuremberg a couple of times but your coverage here was much more complete. The concept of "World Courts" is a little difficult to fully be accepted. While I agree with the outcome of these trials, but as an American politics and other allied politics had to have played a role. Just pick the judges and you have a big advantage. Great video.
