New film 'Nuremberg' highlights psychiatrist who analyzed Hermann Göring

Books Nuremberg - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

A once-overlooked army psychiatrist tasked with analyzing Hermann Göring and other Nazis accused of war crimes is getting the kind of attention that he had sought in his lifetime.

“Nuremberg,” starring Russell Crowe as Göring, centers on the Nazi military commander's conversations with Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, played by Rami Malek. Kelley's mission was to determine whether Göring and more than 20 other Nazi officials captured at the end of World War II were fit to stand trial in Nuremberg. The movie is directed by James Vanderbilt and based on a 2013 book, “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist,” by Jack El-Hai, who helped Vanderbilt write the screenplay.
