About Hostages Trial
The United States of America v. Wilhelm List, et al., commonly known as the Hostages Trial, was the seventh of the twelve "Subsequent Nuremberg trials" for war crimes and crimes against humanity after the end of World War II between 1947 and 1948. The accused were 12 Wehrmacht generals of the Balkan Campaign charged with ordering the hostage-taking of civilians, wanton shootings of these hostages, the reprisal killings of civilians, and the execution without trial of captured "partisans" perpetrated by German troops in occupied Greece, Albania and Yugoslavia. Defendant Lothar Rendulic was further charged for using scorched earth in Finland during the Lapland War in 1944.
