Example search from their system for somebody famous "Hermann Göring" and a likely common issue "concentration camp"

Brings back a lot of duplicates and excerpts from the same books and documents repeated multiple times. Definitely a lot to look through and complicated by a lot of scattershot issues being discussed. Also a lot of missing material. At least a few documents on a quick scan that have multiple photos mentioned, yet nothing's included.

Its information, yet in personal opinion it could probably be presented better with a clearer guide, highlights, and methods of finding information contained within. Maybe something like subsections just for specific types of material ex: photos and crosslinks to photos if they're included somewhere else in the evidence boxes.

Also gives this sense that if the trials were this way, they're all over the place in terms of what was being discussed. Göring alone has 670 different documents and 53 separate trial issues that were being charged.
