"Richard W. Sonnenfeldt, who fled Nazi Germany as a teenager, became the chief interpreter for American prosecutors at the Nuremberg war crimes trials and interrogated some of the most notorious Nazi leaders of World War II, died Friday at his home in Port Washington, N.Y. He was 86.

"The cause was complications of a stroke, his son Michael said.

"Mr. Sonnenfeldt later became an electrical engineer and was part of an RCA team that developed color television.

"A German-born Jew who fled his native country at age 15, Mr. Sonnenfeldt found himself face to face with almost two dozen Nazi oppressors only seven years later, in 1945. Among them were Hermann Goering, Hitler’s second in command; the industrialist Albert Speer, who ran Germany’s war manufacturing; and Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Nazi foreign minister. All were tried and convicted as war criminals by the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg."
