Tribunal limits on calling foreign witnesses in Nazi trials
The tribunal faces government approval checks for overseas witnesses. Britain may bar witnesses if not in public interest, affecting active Britons and former officials. Defendants like Horace Greeley Schacht and Hans Frank seek Polish or Berlin-based witnesses, while German judges lack means to compel travel. UK has approved about 60 percent of German witnesses, mostly former officials, with no British subjects included.

Jackson’s team plans to finish its case next week, with British prosecutors covering crimes against peace thereafter. French and Russian cases center on atrocities and need extra weeks.
