History YMMV / Nuremberg

* ValuesDissonance: Jackson's affair with his secretary Elsie is played as a sweet heart warmer and is probably used as a way to ease the tension and horror of the Nuremberg trials. While there is no suggestion in the series that their feelings are anything other than entirely mutual, the power differential would raise a) eyebrows and b) concerns about an abuse of power in the 2010s.

* MoralEventHorizon: The four charges (conspiracy to wage aggressive war, crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity) for the defendants. Göring, however, accuses the Allies of having crossed it [[MirroringFactions more than once themselves]].

* MagnificentBastard: Hermann Göring.

* NightmareFuel: The concentration camps footage. The strange thing is that because it is real footage of actual concentration camps, it does something very weird to [[BreakingTheFourthWall the fourth wall]]. Suddenly this isn't a miniseries you're watching anymore, this is the pain, suffering and deaths of millions of people you're looking at. In effect, the movie/miniseries act as a direct conduit to provide context for the footage, basically acting as a NightmareFuelStationAttendant.

* AntiVillain: Albert Speer. In RealLife, before the war he was a brilliant architect, and he entered Hitler's inner circle because of his grand designs for re-shaping Berlin and building a strong foundation for the German people. During the war he was charged with maintaining industrial production of armaments, and was shocked and horrified once he found out how the workers in these factories were treated. He did little about it back then, but after the war he spent literally the rest of his life atoning and accepting responsibility for Nazi atrocities. He demonstrated none of the [[TheSociopath sociopathic qualities]] that many of his compatriots showed.
