I was a member of the British contingent that was the clerical backup to the prosicution team Main characters were Sir David Maxwell Fyffe, Sir Hartly Shawcross and Airey Neave. There was a Major Wurmser who did charts and things for early BBC TV programs. There was a few occasions when I was required to sit in the courtroom and it wa then that I would pass the dock where the defendants sat with Herman Goring about a yard from me.
