Crimes Committed
Hitler committed many national crimes during his reign as the ruler of the Nazi party. While waging war with the allies he would capture "undesirables" that he would use for hard labor and extermination. Hitler had concentration camps the most known being Auschwitz. Auschwitz was home to many heinous acts like human experimentation, hard labor, and mass extermination. Prisoners were starved, forced to work, tortured, and killed in gas chambers. When the allies found the concentration camps they found mass graves of Jews and others the Nazis found "undesirable." Of the survivors that were left most could barely walk and support themselves with their own strength. 9 million out of the 11 millions Hitler exterminated were Jews which were killed during the Holocaust. All of the acts committed in the camp violated the Geneva Accords which are "Rules of War." Hitler was not caught; however, he killed himself in his bunker before the Soviets made it to his location.
