The victorious Allies have agreed to put the ‘top-notch Nazis’ on trial. But it turns out the Americans have one concept of a trial and the Russians another entirely. And what precisely will these men be charged with – exactly what is ‘A Crime Against Humanity’?
But it isn’t easy to agree a new trial procedure – Russia and France don’t use cross-examination and America is insisting on a charge of Conspiracy, unknown in France. But procedure is nothing compared to the problem of the Four Indictments: they will have to invent new words – ‘Genocide’ enters the language. Starring Forbes Masson as Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, the Chief British prosecutor and Henry Goodman as Iona Nikitchenko, Chief Soviet Prosecutor.
