Several soldiers appealed against assorted serious offences committed in Germany. They now appealed against conviction and sentence. They complained of failures in the disclosure as to failings in the police investigation process.
Held: The appeals failed. There had been failings by the police investigating the matter, particularly as to the recording of their investigations, however the accusations were insufficiently particular to identify any failing so serious as to undermine the overall validity of the process.
