Alexander Volchkov survived the German Freedom Front's attack on the Palace of Justice in December, 1945. The primary Soviet judge, Iona Nikitchenko, was killed along with over 200 people.

As Volchkov was being taken out on a stretcher, Lou Weissberg mistook him for Nikitchenko. Volchkov, who had some English, corrected Weissberg.
