Lets assume, however unlikely it may seem, that Nazi Germany forces Britain and the Soviet Union to the point of unconditional surrender. Which Allied/Soviet leaders would they put on trial for war crimes, and on what charges?
Depending on when the war ended and if they used the same criteria as the Allies did at Nuremburg then they could string up the following:
Churchill for waging a war of aggression, ordering the bombing of civilians, approving murder and sabotage in occupied Europe, violating Norwegian neutrality and siding with the communists.
Arthur Harris and
Lord Portal for bombing civilians.
Mountbatten for the commando raids in which Geman soldiers were tied up.
Anthony Eden for being Foreign Secretary of a government that pursued these policies
Clement Atlee for being deputy Prime Minister and for being a socialist
All Soviet communists above the rank of dishwasher
Roosevelt (if America surrenders too) for waging undeclared war in the Atlantic before Pearl Harbor and giving supplies to Germany's enemies including the Soviet Union without a declaration of war
Admiral King for having his ships conduct military operations against U-boats without a declaration of war.
The Japanese may also want
Nimitz on trial for unresticted submarine warfare in the Pacific and
Roosevelt for putting Japanese Americans into concentration camps.
In the end they could pin any charges they wanted on anyone if they won the war but these would be top of the list IMO.
