Soviet Soviet Judges in Nuernberg Trial got any awards?

[Gerd Becker]

Gentlemen,

does anyone know per chance, if the russian judges in the Nuernberg Trial got any awards for their participation?

What would a Military Judge got awarded for the most important trial in history?

Thanks for your opinions.

best regards,

Gerd

Lieber Gerd,

that's a very interesting topic .

The head of the Soviet delegation had been two legal officers from the Red Army, who were always sitting in their uniform at the court: One General and one Lt.-Col., I guess.

So if we find out the names of these two, then we could research about any decorations they recieved after Nuernberg Trial.

Due to the fact, that diplomats got their orders and medals for their work - RBL, BoH, Meritorious Worker -, I think, that the legal officers from the Red Army received at least RBLs or even Lenins for their work.

Best regards

Christian

Thank you, Christian and i agree with your explanation. They probably got something like a BoH, RBL or maybe even a Lenin for their work, very likely one of the higher awards due to the prestige of the trial.

It would be interesting to find out the names of the judges. Anyone know?

regards,

Gerd

Ed, thanks a million

Interesting to note that Nikitchenko was the one responsible, that the accused were hanged and not shot.

Thanks again

Dave, that thought already crossed my mind

Maybe i am really going to do that, but not right now. Still have some awards, which i am more curious to learn about their story than to find out Nikitchenko?s awards.

But, i?ll keep it in mind, definately...

Thank you, Ed. I will take that one then. A google search turned up over 300 hits for that name, so i guess, its the right spelling.
