You'd be forgiven if you expected "Nuremberg" to be a dramatic recreation of the famous Nuremberg trials. To be clear, it is partially a historical drama recreating the Nazi war crimes trial that became the foundation of international law, but that's only the backdrop for the film's true story. That's because "Nuremberg" is actually an adaptation of a book.
"The Nazi and the Psychiatrist" came out in 2013, and it tells the story of the relationship between U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley and his most infamous patient: Hermann Göring, Reichsmarschall of Nazi Germany and the de facto leader of the nation following Adolf Hitler's suicide. During the war crimes trial, Kelley was tasked with examining the Nazi leaders on trial and ensuring they stayed healthy enough mentally and physically to take the stand.
