20 of the Nazis tried in the Nuremberg Trials and their sentences
(Click the image to enlarge it.)
Everyone sentenced to death was hanged on October 16, 1946, except Goering who killed himself the night before. Their bodies were cremated in the ovens at Dachau. (Update: Apparently not everything you read on the internet is true.)
(via Reddit, more about the defendants)

From the very Wikipedia article you link to: “Although the rumor has long persisted that the bodies were taken to Dachau and burned there, they were actually incinerated in a crematorium in Munich, and the ashes scattered over the river Isar.”
Too bad they weren’t dropped alive into the fires of Mount Doom!
I literally live in the street a few mintues from the court room – they’ve just opened it up as a museum, and I keep meaning to visit.
You don’t ‘literally’ live in the street. That would involve either being part of the pavement or dodging cars all day. Take out the stupid word literally and you have a complete sentence.
Danjones, Grammar Nazi. LOL
@danjones: “Take out the stupid word literally and you have a complete sentence.”
Actually, the sentence was already complete, it just had a misused word in there.
listen, he is obviously from Germany. So of course his English is slightly off. I know a lot of Germans and they all have the same problem with “in”.
If we had finished this war properly, their English would be perfect presently.
