In this episode we invite you to hear more about US Army veteran and Nuremberg Trials prosecutor Mr Benjamin Ferencz.

Graduating Harvard law school Mr Ferencz enlists and is posted to US Army unit 115th AAA Battalion which he deploys to UK with in December of 1943. Only days after D-day the unit is tasked with defending Omaha beach and later on to provide cover for the advance on, and battle of, Cherbourgh.

Transferred to the newly formed War Crimes branch in the HQ of Gen Patton's Third Army he is tasked to investigate alleged killings of downed airmen and other war crimes.

Honorably discharged before Christmas of 1945, but recruited only weeks after as a prosecutor in the Nuremberg Trials. Appointed as lead prosecutor for the "Einsatzgruppen Trial" where 24 men are ultimately convicted as responsible for over a million deaths in what is termed as The Forgotten Holocaust.

There is little we can say that adequately will do Mr Ferencz's legacy justice. His signature and endorsement of the project adds incredible gravitas.
