Answer:

Nuremberg Military Tribunals

Step-by-step explanation:

These trials were held under Law No. 10 issued by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Pursuant to this law, United States forces had arrested almost 100,000 Germans as war criminals. The Office of Chief Counsel for War Crimes identified 2,500 major war criminals, of whom 177 were tried.
