Why are so many war criminals tried in Germany?

Why are (seemingly) so many war crimes Tried by Germany? Why aren’t they tried by other countries like the US, UK or France?

To clarify: I’m not talking about NAZI war crimes but crimes commited by Syria for example where there have been a couple high profile trials in the last few years.

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe Germany has tried more individual Syrians for war crimes in Germany more than anywhere else, it’s probably simply that you read or heard about them more for some reason.

France and other UK and other countries have tried Syrian jihadists in their courts.

It could also be that individual countries try their own citizens fro crimes committed in Syria, or try people who have been charged of crimes that affected a given country’s citizens.
