Marlene Dietrich – Weltstar, Stilikone, Mythos
Nachkriegszeit: Weltweite Erfolge und schwierige Rückkehr
Nach Kriegsende setzt Marlene Dietrich ihre einzigartige Karriere fort. Bis in die er-Jahre spielt sie in Filmen berühmter Regisseure wie Billy Wilder, Alfred Hitchcock oder Fritz Lang und feiert als Sängerin internationale Bühnenerfolge. Auf einer Europatournee kehrt sie nach Deutschland und West-Berlin zurück.

The author Eva Gesine Baur writes in her biography of Marlene Dietrich that Dietrich took part in the Nuremberg Trial on November 27, ; the idea of a visit there was suggested to her by Billy Wilder (Baur, , p. ). Dietrich had been sitting on the guest balcony in American uniform and in the evening she had been smiling and signing autographs in a pompous bar, surrounded by a swarm of people (p. ).
Six months later, in his double biography about Dietrich and her sister Liesel, Heinrich Thies also writes that in Dietrich "witnessed for a few hours how things actually happened at the Nuremberg Trials. The Americans had secretly provided her with a seat in the visitors' gallery" (Thies, , p. ). As source for this he cites the Baur book (Thies, , p. ).
If this was true, it would be real and not unimportant news in the biography of Marlene Dietrich, which
