Indictment
- Participating in a common plan or conspiracy to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- War crimes through the administration of concentration camps and extermination camps, and the mass murders and atrocities committed there.
- Crimes against humanity on the same grounds, including slave labor charges.
- Membership in a criminal organization, the SS.
The SS had been found a criminal organization previously by the IMT. All defendants were charged on all counts of the indictment, except Hohberg, who was not charged on count 4. Charge 1 (conspiracy) was largely disregarded by the tribunal and no judgments on this count were passed.

“The indictment had never been clearly expressed,
And it seemed that the Snark had begun,
And had spoken three hours, before any one guessed
What the pig was supposed to have done.”
