==After the war== [[File:F. F. E. Yeo-Thomas Grave Brookwood.jpg|thumb|160px|Marker for Yeo-Thomas' ashes in [[Brookwood Cemetery]]]] [[File:Yeo-Thomas Blue Plaque.jpg|thumb|160px|right|The [[blue plaque]] on Yeo-Thomas' flat in [[Guilford Street]]]] After the war, Yeo-Thomas was to be an important witness at the [[Nuremberg trials]] in the identification of Buchenwald officials. He was a key prosecution witness at the [[Buchenwald trial]] held at [[Dachau Concentration Camp]] between April and August 1947. At this trial, 31 members of the Buchenwald staff were convicted of war crimes. He was also a surprise defence witness in the [[Otto Skorzeny#Dachau trials|war crimes trial]] of [[Otto Skorzeny]], particularly on the charge of Skorzeny's [[Operation Greif|use of American uniforms in infiltrating American lines]]. Yeo-Thomas testified that he and his operatives wore German uniforms behind enemy lines while working for the SOE. He died at the age of 61 in his Paris apartment following a massive [[haemorrhage]]. He was cremated in Paris and then subsequently repatriated to be interred in [[Brookwood Cemetery]], Surrey, where his grave can be found in the Pine Glade Garden of Remembrance. In March 2010 his life was commemorated with an [[English Heritage]] [[blue plaque]] erected at his flat in Queen Court where he lived in [[Guilford Street]], [[Bloomsbury]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8595446.stm |title=Secret agent's life celebrated with blue plaque |date=31 March 2010 |website=BBC News |access-date=31 March 2010}} (NB.
