Rudolph Hess was thought to be insane by the time of the Nuremberg tribunal. Hess was not indicted for some of the charges (he was in England at the time of the "Final Solution"), but he was sentenced to life in prison.

Albert Speer was seen as a more intellectual Nazi then others such as Saukel. Speer also convinced the tribunal that he did not take part in the atrocities committed by the Nazis, though he did consent to the use of slave labor. There has been speculation that the court liked the more urbane Speer to his coarser Nazi co-defendents. Speer was sentenced to a prison term, later writing the book "Inside the Third Reich".

I am not sure about Sepp Maier; the Net says he is a German soccer goalie. If you mean Kurt "Panzer" Meyer or Sepp Dietrich, they were generals in the Waffen-SS, not government/military leaders like Goering, Jodl, and Kietel.

It's a fact the Allies left the Nazis in charge of Germany at the end of the war because it was more convenient than setting up a whole new system to run the country from scratch.
