7708 War Crimes Group.

French, English, German,

Biographical notes:

The earliest war crimes cases were investigated by war crimes sections under the Staff Judge Advocates of the 1st, 3rd, and 7th US Armies and under the commanding generals of the Eastern and Western Military Districts. The war crimes program was centralized in the office of the Theater Judge Advocate, US Forces European Theater in 1945. In 1946 the operation became the 7708 War Crimes Group, and it was deactivated on 30 Jun 1948. Completion of the cases and execution of sentencing after this time was carried out by a war crimes unit in the Judge Advocate Division of the European Command (EUCOM).
