after being convicted. I am still pissed off about that.

"Only one high-profile Nazi, Rudolf Hess, served his full life sentence at the Nuremberg Trials and was the only one of the convicted individuals to do so. Many other individuals who were convicted at the subsequent, more numerous Nuremberg Military Tribunals had their sentences commuted or were released early, especially during the 1950s."
