There were different levels of war crimes and type of people who were charged with war crimes. The top leaders (24 of them) were all convicted of their war crimes. One, Goering, killed himself before the War Crime Tribunal could execute him. There were a hundred more people who were tried but not all of them were convicted. I did hear or see a figure of 80 percent were convicted but do not rely on that as being accurate since I could not find the exact figure to answer your question.
