The U.S. film project on the Nuremberg Trial of the major war criminals: a contribution to the political culture in post war Germany.

研究项目的第二阶段将特别考虑美国军事情报部门(战略服务办公室，OSS)在纽伦堡审判主要战犯电影项目中所扮演的角色的调查结果。纳粹战争罪的视听表现以及它们对起诉的贡献以及美国民事和军队当局采取的前瞻性措施是研究的重点。目前的研究项目揭示了关于特勤局对电影项目的贡献的范围和多样性的不可预测和未记录的发现。在比文献中描述的规模大得多的范围内，开放源码软件--启动“战争罪项目”--是起诉战争罪的系统的一部分。管理局还基本上参与了法庭的设计，为法庭配备了媒体技术，并对审判的视听传统负责。除此之外，很明显，美国当局的占领和外交政治视野比战后德国的眼前任务更深远。在美国的电影政策以及试验的视听传统中也可以观察到长期的影响。该电影项目为庭审创造了一种可持续的可视化，并培育了主角的形象。OSS系统收集的电影证据已经成为纳粹罪行的标志，并对有关国家社会主义、大屠杀以及发起国际刑法的讨论产生了影响。根据这些研究结果，有必要扩大我们的研究，以考虑到这些新的事实。

The second phase of the research project will especially take into account findings concerning the role of the U.S. military intelligence service (Office of Strategic Services, OSS) in the film project on the Nuremberg Trials against the major war criminals. The audio visual representation of Nazi war crimes as well as their contribution to prosecution and forward-looking measures taken by the U.S. civil and Army authorities are in the focus of research. The current research project revealed unpredictable and undocumented findings concerning the extent and variety of the secret service's contribution to the film project. In a far bigger scale than described in the literature, the OSS - launching the 'War Crimes Project' - was part of the system for the prosecution of war crimes. The authority was also essentially engaged in designing the court room, in equipping it with media techniques and was responsible for the audio visual tradition of the trial. Apart from this it also became apparent that the occupation and foreign political horizon of U.S. authorities was more far-reaching than the immediate tasks in post war Germany. Long term effects could be observed as well in the U.S. film policy as well as in the audio visual tradition of the trial. The film project created a sustainable visualization of the trial and fostered images of its protagonists. Film evidence, which were systematically collected by the OSS have become icons of the Nazi crimes and impact on discussions about National Socialism, the holocaust but also about initiating international criminal law. According to these research results it is necessary to expand our study in order to take into account these new facts.
