| Contextualisation of the source | The Times is regarded as a conservative newspaper. A series of reports on the opening days of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial appeared on the 20th November 1945 and in the following days. |
| Interpretation of the source | This article on the events of day two of the trial continue to emphasise the historical importance of the trial. It emphasises the length of the trial and the amount of detail is considerable.
The content of the second day, focussing on the American presentation of the events leading to the Nazi seizure of power and the conspiracy charges is provided in great detail. This highlights the historical background to the events which took place between 1939 and 1945, of which most people would know very little.
