The JAG Corps is the US Army’s legal branch concerned with military law and military justice. After the Second World War it conferred legal authority for a series of war crimes trials held as court-martials between 1945 and 1948 (‘Dachau Trials’). This included trials of atrocities committed in some German concentration camps. See Eiber, L. and R.
