My mother was one of the translators/interpreters at the Nuremberg Trials. She passed away in 1985. She was fluent in Russian, English, French and German. She told me that they would alternate between direct interpretation and written translations, and worked in shifts. She was 32 years old at that time.
What a great job the interpreters did. To simultaneously translate such horrific testimony in real time must have been enormously challenging. I happened to know a Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials who said it was odd to put a question to a Nazi male and receive the answer through the headphones by a young female.
