Four trials that dealt with colonial and Nazi violence and with comparisons between the two – both in the courtroom and in the accompanying debates: What were the charges and what arguments did the defence use? Which social, historical and political controversies of the 1940s, 1960s, 1980s and 2010s were also at stake in these trials?
