I wonder how long we can guess without getting the right answer? How many combinations of shipper and vintage are there?

I hated to see him suffer.
A simple one; my nom de plume on this forum is LGTrotter; what do the initials LG stand for? I will award extra points if you know the two reasons he didn't want a knighthood, but these are not a requirement.

Correct; Daniel's go.
(He did not want a knighthood because he did not want to be known as Sir Lemuel or Sir Gengolfus. Also he was worried by the prospect of having to walk backwards with a sword between his legs wearing satin knee breeches). Love Wodehouse me.
I see you have won one of the two extra points available Daniel.

No need for any knowledge of French Marxists who strangled their wives. Instead, back to family history for an easy question. My great-grandfather has visited this quiz before. Name the Nazi whose prosecution he led.

Not Mengele. Google may not be much help here, even if you knew my great-grandfather's name (which, before you go searching, has not been revealed here).LGTrotter wrote:Mengele (no google)

I will provide clues if necessary.. though it's hard to do so without giving it away. But there have been suggestions (I think from the Americans) that the prosecution was not well executed.
EDIT: on reflection, perhaps I should say, 'not very good'.

I just ask because except for the main trial most judges were American.

He was not a judge, he was a prosecutor. In fact the judges, and all the legal teams, at Nuremberg were from all four Allied powers. He was working with David Maxwell-Fyfe, under the leadership of Hartley Shawcross. He did not have a double-barrelled name, though he did have a middle name which was almost always used in talking about him. He also had a nickname, which he gained in the First World War, and which was used very broadly by family and professional acquaintances alike. The nickname had some relationship to WW1 uniforms.AW77 wrote:Your great-grandfather was British, not American?

Do we have another name yet in this very jolly game of 'guess the nazi' yet?
Oh I see Derek has; then Albert Speer.
