Something I didn't know nazi war criminal Alfred Jodl was apparently posthumously acquitted of his conviction.

Jodl's Nuremberg verdict was controversial in U.S. military circles and on February 28, 1953, a West German court in Munich posthumously acquitted him of all charges. His property, confiscated in 1946, was returned to his widow. However, yielding to U.S. pressure, the Bavarian government recanted the court's judgment; on September 3, 1953, the Bavarian state minister of "political liberation" overturned the earlier revocation of the Nuremberg judgment.

So what happens if he had been acquitted at Nuremberg?

What would have happened if the Bavarian government hadn't overturned the courts decision.

Could the Allies have been charged with perverting the course of justice?

Lets discuss what effects this decision might have had.
