65. Herman Goering at Nuremberg (1946) by Yevgeny Khaldei

66. Yevgeny Khaldei in 1945 he was the Soviets’ frontline
photographer in the International Miltary Tribunals in
Nuremberg.
Nuremberg was a difficult assignment many photojournalists.
Access to the courtroom was tightly governed under rules
drafted by the Americans. Three glass enclosures were
distributed along the edges of the room, and photographers
were confined to them, two-by-two, and given only three
minutes to shoot. One enclosure faced the dock, another
faced the justices, and the third faced the those who had
gathered to observe the proceedings.
Khaldei finally circumvented the restriction by bribing an
assistant to one of the Soviet justices with a bottle of gin in
exchange for a better seat – the seat that yielded one of the
most interesting photographs of Hermann Göring and the
Trials.

67. Hermann Goering was extremely angry that the soldiers
allowed a Russian (let alone a Jew) to photograph him.
Dressed in his Soviet naval uniform (which further annoyed
Goering) Khaldei pursued Goering aggressively: “I took lots
of pictures of Göring because I thought, ‘Hitler is dead.’ That
makes Göring public enemy number one. I took pains to be
near him at all times.”
With the help of an American MP and his baton, Goering
was forced to face Khaldei’s lens, and even to have his
picture taken with him. Towards the end of the trial, before
the sentencing, Khaldei had his photo taken standing near
Göring by a colleague. With the exception of his mother,
Khaldei’s entire family had been slaughtered by the
Germans in 1941.
