We have geographically marked the crime locations of the post-war German trials with the help of Google Maps. Alphabetically listed below, are over 1700 towns, villages and other places where Nazi crimes were committed which were prosecuted and tried before East and West German courts after the war.

In pin-pointing the various loci delicti we tried to be as accurate as possible. In many instances we succeeded in establishing the exact location of places which seemed untraceable at first. A great help were the many excellent websites with information on (re-named) place names, different spellings of geographical locations, etc. Nonetheless, there still remain a few places which could either not be found or whose location is still uncertain. We've marked them accordingly. Please note that the locations you find on the maps are geographical approximations, based on the information given in the trial judgments.

The names of the locations given here are spelled like the German ones found in the trial judgments. No effort was made to anglicize or adapt them in accordance with the spelling in the European countries to which these locations belong.

With the exception of the first two lists ("Berlin" and "A-B"), we have abstained (for the moment) from including descriptions of the crimes committed in the respective locations.  You can read all about them in the German ('Justiz und NS-Verbrechen') or English ('Nazi Crimes on Trial') section of this site.
