About this tour
This session looks at Courtroom 600, where the post-war international military tribunal tried senior Nazi leaders. You see the courthouse from outside and hear the plain facts of why this specific room and city were chosen for the trials. It stays factual and respectful throughout.
I keep my voice low and my pace slow, since this history deserves care rather than commentary. Questions are welcome at any point, and I send a short reading list afterwards for anyone who wants to learn more.
This suits anyone interested in twentieth-century history and international law. It also pairs well with the rally grounds session for a fuller picture of the era.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
