Biographical History
There is evidence that Freddie returned to Germany after the war (see driving licence dated, 1952- 1925/1/22). This is corroborated anecdotally by the donor, a good friend of his. He is known to have worked as an interpreter at the Nuremberg war Crimes Trials. That said, he wouldn’t have remained long and by all accounts spent the rest of his life at the same house in North London, which his father had bought in the 1930s. Freddie is thought to have worked in some capacity in the textile trade eventually setting himself up as a textile agent. He didn’t have a family of his own. He died 20 August 2015.
