According Dan Gallery he was charged with:
1. Conspiring to wage aggressive war
2. Waging aggressive war
3. Violation of the laws of war at sea
He was acquitted of the first charge but convicted of the other two. No mention of an waging an "illegal" aggressive war. |
Fine, "waging aggressive war" then, I had not looked up the specifics but was only relying on the vaguely remembered memoirs that I'd read several months ago.
