how were the PERPETRATORS dealt with after the war?
when the allied armies finally invaded Germany in 1945, Hitler knew he had been defeated. In April 1945 Hitler committed suicide before the allies had the chance to capture him. During the year of 1945 thousands of Nazis committed suicide. They were taught that it was a more favourable option than being captured and punished for their beliefs. However, hundreds more were caught and punished for their involvement in the Holocaust.
