From the practical point of view it was a typical witch-hunt. This becomes striking when you compare the 22 sentences (David Irving's Nuremberg: The Last Battle is a good read) and R.Rudenko's reaction to the accusations made against the soviets who, simply speaking, were the German allies up to 1941. I guess I don't to remind what Ribbentrop-Molotov pact was. Or who helped the Germans to invade Poland.
I would call this trial a major victory of the legal regulations and a great defeat of moral standards.
