| Description | The Royal Navy showed a strong interest in investigating and prosecuting Germans accused of violating the laws and usages of war and existing international agreements. British military law furnished the legal right to punish violations by the vanquished enemy. Under the authority of a Royal Warrant, military courts convened in occupied Germany and the liberated countries for prosecution of alleged war crimes. The Royal Navy actively participated in several naval-related cases involving the deliberate killing of British and Allied sailors, breaches of the surrender terms, and perceived misconduct. Moreover, the Kriegsmarine's two wartime leaders, Grossadmiral Erich Raeder and Grossadmiral Karl Dönitz, appeared as defendants before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg with other leading political, military, and industrial figures from the Third Reich. War crimes trials were an important aspect of the Royal Navy's work in occupied Germany. Book Name: The Royal Navy and German Naval Disarmament 1942–1947 |
