A policy-driven dramatization of George Creel's War Criminals and Punishment argues that Axis leaders must not escape accountability after the war. Using historical examples from the aftermath of World War I, staged voices outline ways German leaders previously avoided punishment and warn against repeating those failures. The program calls for unconditional surrender, military occupation and disarmament, prosecution of war criminals and the destruction of Prussian militarism as necessary steps toward a durable peace.
