Richard Dillard Dixon of Edenton, N.C., alumnus of the University of North Carolina, lawyer and businessman, clerk of court and superior court judge, went to Germany in 1946 for the Nuremberg war crime trials and in May 1947 was appointed to serve as an alternate to any of the Tribunals. He participated in four of the twelve war crimes trials held in Nuremberg under authority of the Allied Control Council Law No. 10, specifically cases no. 1, no. 2, no. 5, and no. 9.

Files concerning case no. 5, the Flick trial, and case no. 9, the Einsatzgruppen trial, of the twelve trials of war criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals under Allied Control Council Law No. 10.
