US guards at the Nuremberg Trials - Bill Corwin - 08-12-2007 Anyone know what US unit/units stood guard at the Nuremberg Trials? I've searched around online many times and find no mention. US guards at the Nuremberg Trials - SonofaMP - 08-12-2007 The 3rd Battalion of the 26th Infantry Reg., "Blue Spaders," of the 1st Infantry Division were chosen to secure the historic Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. In one report i read, it mentioned that "K" Company of the 26th Inf., 1st Div. was on Court room duty. Other Units at Nuremberg were The US Constabulary, the 793rd MP Battalion, & the 508th MP Battalion."] US guards at the Nuremberg Trials - Jeeper704 - 08-13-2007 That's correct, they even had special insignia and markings.
Erwin. US guards at the Nuremberg Trials - pjo - 08-13-2007 thanks for that information - I seem to remember my mother saying dad was a guard at the Nuremberg Trials and I have been lurking through books to see if I can find his photo there - I recently found a photo of him with the blue spades and the Big Red One patch - also with the Belgium Fourragere so it was after WW2 I would guess - Any ideas where I could find some good photos of the guards at the trial? US guards at the Nuremberg Trials - SonofaMP - 08-13-2007 Theres a good one here: http://www.archives.gov/research/ww2/photo...ges/ww2-170.jpg US guards at the Nuremberg Trials - pjo - 08-14-2007 WOW! that's an excellent photo - don't see Dad but must be some additional good quality pix somewhere - I'll keep searching - meanwhile I'm saving this one - best one I've seen yet.

I had to stop my research for quite some time and just pulled up this site again. It was a pleasant surprise to see your reply. The photos are very clear.
