But when in February 1920 the first such list of some 900 names--including the former imperial crown prince, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, and Gen. Erich F. Ludendorff--was presented, German indignation was so strong that the Allies agreed to a compromise, namely, that investigations and trials would be handled by the German Supreme Court.
Thereafter, 185 other leading German personalities--cabinet ministers, field marshals and admirals, industrialists, ambassadors, jurists, physicians, and so on--were indicted before 12 tribunals, composed exclusively of United States judges, at Nurnberg between December 1946 and March 1949 under a law issued by the Allied Control Council for Germany.
The most famous of the latter trials were probably those of Marshal Henri Philippe PETAIN and Pierre Laval--respectively head of state and prime minister of France's wartime Vichy regime--and the Norwegian Vidkun Quisling, whose name had become synonymous for fifth columnist during World War II.
