scope and content: INDEX of Names: of Nazis (including collaborators and earlier ideologues) suspected, accused and/or convicted of war crimes; and of Nazi war crime trials (1955-2004) This INDEX was compiled from names mentioned in articles and reports on war crime trials (WWII), which were largely held in West Germany, but some took place in the East, all between 1955 and 2004.

There were also those who were never officially accused, for political reasons. Nevertheless, the names of such individuals who themselves did not stand trial but who were clearly accused in the trials of others, and mentioned by writers of the articles -whether in detail or cursorily- were also entered in the INDEX of Names which follows. Each of these trials was given the name of the principal individual(s) accused, or of the camp to which the trial referred. However, in many cases a single name-heading serves for several trials related to one individual; trials which took place at different places, with different accused (in cases of concentration camp trials and others) and on different dates. This INDEX of Names lists, in one alphabetical sequence, the nam…
