Original U.S. WWII Nuremberg War Crimes Trial Grouping with German-Made Patch
-
Original Items. One-of-a-Kind. This is a phenomenal & extensive grouping belonging to Private Maurice E. Whirry, who performed special escort guard duties at the Nuremberg Trials. The group includes photo-copies of many of his documents, which lists that he guarded War Prisoners including Goering, Hess, Ribbontrop, Spiel, Doenitz, and Raeder at the Nuremberg trials and between the military tribunal and the prison.
