Since the Nuremberg trials were a cornerstone for international jurisprudence over war crimes as well as other international offenses, it was important to get the system correct. For this four indictments were defined. From Wikipedia: quote:The indictments were for: How many of those charges would Goebbels have been guilty of and would it have mattered? Joseph Goebbels served as propaganda minister for Third Reich. While he had nothing to do with fighting war directly, he had a significant effect on the war effort both privately and publicly. Goebbels pressed Hitler several times to push the economy into total war mode. As the public face of war effort, he was responsible for promoting the idea of victory or death to the people. On 23 July he was named as Reich Plenipotentiary for Total War, charged with maximising the manpower for the Wehrmacht and the armaments industry. It seems likely Goebbels would have been judged guilty of all four charges and sentenced to death. The closest comparable persons in position was Joachim von Ribbentrop, sentenced to death. Should he have been sentenced to death? Yes, absolutely. He was one of the instigators of the worst war in history without any shadow of a doubt.
