Hans Laternser

Hans Laternser was a prominent German Lawyer who specialised in Anglo-Saxon law. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, this made him especially qualified to defend Germans prosecuted for war crimes by the victorious Allies. He had represented several defendants at the Nuremberg Trials, Generalfeldmarschalls Albert Kesselring and Erich von Manstein.
