In a series of a few dozens cases before a U.S. military tribunal at Dachau, lasting from April to August 1947, at least sixty-two members of the staff at the Buchenwald Concentration camp faced charges of war crimes related to the atrocities committed at the camp.

In the major case (United States of America v. Josias Prince of Waldeck et al.), thirty-one Nazi officials were found guilty of atrocities at Buchenwald and twenty-two were sentenced to death, eight being subsequently commutted, the rest to various terms of imprisonment. Twelve of the defendents were executed on various dates.
