Criminality?
Could NSDAP be considered criminals ? They were the government and law makers in a dictatorship state. They never signed international treatys concidering like the Geneva convention. They thow broke the czeckoslovakain treaty and later the treaty of non-aggression with the USSR. But is criminals really the right word for the national- socialists ? As I see it they lost the war - was that criminal too ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JPEriksson (talk • contribs) 23:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The NSDAP was found to be a criminal organisation by the Nuremberg trials (along with the Reich Cabinet, the Gestapo, the SA, the SS and the German general staff). So yes, de jure the NSDAP is considered to be a criminal organisation and so referring to it as criminal is factual.
 * The Nuremberg trials didn't try the Nazi leaders for losing the war but for starting it, i.e. the crime of aggression. Germany had signed (and broken) several treaties renouncing aggressive war, for example the Locarno Treaties and the Kellogg–Briand Pact. Shimbo (talk) 11:46, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
