From 1943 to 1945, more than 90% of the city center were destroyed by bombing and more than 6 thousand inhabitants were killed. Soon, Nuremberg will once again become famous - it was here that the Nuremberg process was held, a series of military tribunals, who judged the surviving leaders of Nazi Germany.
