PREVIOUSLY unseen letters describing how pro-minent Nazis were brought to justice at the Nuremberg Trials have been made available to the public.
The 205 letters between David Maxwell Fyfe, British Deputy Chief Prosecutor at Nuremberg, and his wife, Sylvia, have been gifted to the Churchill Archives Centre, at Cambridge University.
Yesterday’s announcement of the gift coincides with the 63rd anniversary of Maxwell Fyfe’s famous interrogation of Goering, the leading Nazi defendant and Luftwaffe commander.
The cross-examination is remembered as one of the most notable in history.
