How did Joseph Stalin leader of the Soviets want the nazi leaders punished?

Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, wanted the Nazi leaders to face severe punishment for their crimes during World War II, particularly for the atrocities committed against the Soviet people. He advocated for their prosecution at the Nuremberg Trials, emphasizing the need for justice for war crimes, including the mass killings and brutalities inflicted on Soviet citizens. Stalin's desire for punishment was also influenced by a broader agenda of asserting Soviet strength and influence in post-war Europe. Ultimately, he sought to ensure that the horrors of the Nazi regime were publicly acknowledged and condemned.
