[edit] To Do List

By Atrivedi

Birthday and, if the information I have is invalid, his death date.
List of interviewees from the trial (I read the book, but I don't remember them all)
Add biographical information about him from another source as he has a pretty interesting place in history.

[edit] Translator

A doctor was used as a translator? Is his book the major/only source for many of the quotes we have from Germans of this period? Any separate verification of these quotes? 159.105.80.141 16:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Gilbert was a native speaker so he wasn't an amateur translator, and surely not the only translator or German speaker present. I believe every word spoken by the defendents in the Nuremburg trials were recorded so he is not the only source of quotes from the high ranking Nazi from that time. The conversations in the Nuremberg Diary is another matter however as they were not recorded but written down by Gilbert immediatly after they took place; however Gilbert told the court at the Eichmann trial that he had asked the defendants to write essays about themselves, and these essays supposedly back up the authenticity of Gilbert's writing.--Sus scrofa 17:12, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
