A WOMAN who helped convict Hitler's right hand man, Herman Goering, at the Nuremberg Trials, has died at the age of 92.

Dr Enid Standring was born in Bolton and was educated at Bolton School. She studied modern languages at university before continuing her studies at the University of Besancon, in eastern France.

But when Germany invaded France during the Second World War, Miss Standring was forced to flee.

She travelled hundreds of miles by bicycle, marginally ahead of the German troops, in a bid to reach the final boat which would take her over to England.

On her return to Britain, Miss Standring helped with the war effort through her work as a censor. She then later joined the WRENs where she worked in the special service as a translator.

After the war, Miss Standring also worked as a translator at the Nuremberg Trials, where she helped put together information which led to the conviction of Herman Goering.

Miss Standring then moved to the USA where she took a PhD at the University of New York, before teaching at the University of Nebraska and University State College Montclair, New Jersey.

Even when she retired at the age of 70, her days of study were not behind her and she took two degrees in music and in Russian.

Miss Standring eventually returned to England and went to live at Grange-over-Sands, where she could be close to her brother.

As a keen clarinet player, her family say she attended every concert she could, and made many friends while living in the area.

Miss Standring died on November 22 at Westmorland General Hospital.
