The Nuremberg Trials is a 1947 Soviet-made documentary film about the trials of the Nazi leadership. It was directed by Elizaveta Svilova, produced by Roman Karmen, and was an English-language version of the Russian language film Суд народов ("Judgment of the Peoples" or "Judgment of the Nations"). Most of the film describes the Nazis' crimes in detail, particularly those committed in the Soviet Union. It claims that if not stopped, the Nazis would have "turned the whole world into a Majdanek". It also includes some elements of anti-capitalist propaganda, claiming that the real rulers of Germany were "armament kings" such as Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. Of the Holocaust and the recovery of gold from its victims, the film accurately notes that the Nazis "even made death into a commercial enterprise."
