Yes, but those were pretty high level guys. If you can't find a reason to hang them, you kind of at least have to keep them locked up.Ignoring the whole opps we shot those guys, I think they were trying to surrender thing, did we really execute Nazis regardless of record.
Hess died in prison in 1987
Speer in 2017
Von Krosigk who was minister of finance and defacto chancellor for a month at the end, died in 1977
Schacht in 1970
Oh look. I found another wiki article by googling for 15 seconds and we can read what it says....I am sure if anyone gave a shit they could find Nazis who were not executed, and probably many who were never tried or convicted of war crimes either.
Inglorious Bastards was a wonderful movie, nice revenge fantasy, clever elements etc... but it always bothered me when they assumed every German was a Nazi, on a semi related note
Nazi Germany - Wikipedia

All civilian organisations, including agricultural groups, volunteer organisations, and sports clubs, had their leadership replaced with Nazi sympathisers or party members; these civic organisations either merged with the Nazi Party or faced dissolution.[38] The Nazi government declared a "Day of National Labor" for May Day 1933, and invited many trade union delegates to Berlin for celebrations. The day after, SA stormtroopers demolished union offices around the country; all trade unions were forced to dissolve and their leaders were arrested.[39] The Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, passed in April, removed from their jobs all teachers, professors, judges, magistrates, and government officials who were Jewish or whose commitment to the party was suspect.[40] This meant the only non-political institutions not under control of the Nazis were the churches.[41]
Germany was entirely Nazified by 1945. There were MILLIONS of Nazis. Every fucking schoolteacher was a member of the Nazi party. Probably every lawyer. Every university prof.
No one went around rounding up schoolteachers and hanging them in 1945. They were mainly just ordinary shmos who signed on so they could keep their jobs, make a living and stay out of a one way trip to Auschwitz.
