Nuremberg Palace Of JusticeNuremberg Palace of Justice is a building complex in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany which is most famous for being the location of the famous Nuremberg Trials that were held after the Second World War for the "henchmen" of Adolf Hitler, between 1945 and 1949 for those who were still presumed to be alive. The infamous ones who made the appearance were Hermann Gring, Rudolf Hess, Franz von Papen (Vice-Chancellor under Hitler, acquitted), Arthur Seyss-Inquart (Austrian Chancellor, Nazi Commissioner, hanged) and Joachim von Ribbentrop (Foreign Minister, hanged). It is a commonly known fact that Gring was not hanged as planned, but instead committed suicide by taking a cyanide pill smuggled into his cell. He was later quoted in his suicide notes that "being hanged is not appropriate for a man of his status".
