All who turned to lock back, as well as anyone who tried to help, were beaten. And further on in the statement :"We go further on; there is shooting once more. A car full of the SS men approaches; the oficers get out. They inspect us and take away from our ranks three young, pretty girls; two sisters N. and another girl, unknown to me. The car goes away, the girls cry out, trying to defend themselves against the SS men. An old woman falls down, she can't go on any more. An SS officer shoots her in the neck." And then at the last :"In a church at Wola the rest of our belongings is taken away from us. All the young girls, sometimes no more than 12-14 years of age, are left behind, while the older ones, with the children, are led to the western Station and then by railway to Pruszkow." BY MR. ELWYN JONES:
Q. These were crimes of the SS, were they not, witness ?
A. That was not the Waffen SS, but that was only a group of men who belonged to Himmler who had nothing whatsoever to do with the fighting groups. We never fought at Warsaw.
Warsaw? But, to my knowledge, there was no fighting there. A riot was quelled there and witnesses have testified.... that's what happened in Warsaw, wasn't it? SS were fighting. which are depositions by Professor Tomkiewicz Wladislaw, and Dr. Stanislaw Lorentz of the National Museum in Warsaw, on the looting and terrible, piece-meal destruction of Warsaw by German formations and by SS men. I shall attempt to summarize the documents. the Defendant Frank showing the cooperation between the SS and the civil power in the courts of this murderous event.
THE PRESIDENT: What's the reference?
MR. ELWYN JONES: 2233-DD-PS, My Lord, GB-562. That is an entry from the diary of the Defendant Frank from the 16th of October, 1944.
"The Governor General receives SS Oberfuehrer Dierlewanger and SS Untersturmfuehrer Ammann in the presence of SS Sturmbannfuehrer Pfaffenroth. "SS Oberfuehrer Dierlewanger reports to the Governor-General on the employment of his combat group in Warsaw.
"The Governor-General thanks SS Oberfuehrer Dierlewanger and expresses to him his appreciation for the model employment of his combat group in the fighting in Warsaw.
"Lunch on the occasion of the presence of SS Oberfuehrer Dierlewanger." was he not?
THE PRESIDENT: Can you offer any evidence as to what units these officers were commanding?
MR. ELWYN JONES: I am Just going to put it to the witness, My Lord.
BY MR. ELWYN JONES: was he not? concentration camp that had to prove themselves. He had no connection with the SS. I did not meet him nor his troops so I could not testify as to that.
Q where the officers of his unit SS men?
Q I see. I shall produce later, documents on this issue -- at a later stage, my Lord. of the Jews by the SS. In this document there is specific evidence that the Waffen SS is included. The first is exhibit D-939, GB-563. That is an affidavit by Izrael Eisenberg, and he states:
" I lived in Lublin and from there I was sent to Maidanek in the beginning of 1942. However, as a prisoner I continued to work for the Germans who employed me as an expert for electro-mechanical jobs in the various SS houses and SS offices in Lublin. I worked as an electro-mechanic in the palace building of the SS and Police Chief Globocnik and in the headquarters of the SS in Lublin, Warschauer Street 21. The Waffen SS were also there. On the outer wall the notice 'SS-Waffen' could be seen and on the pass which I received at the entrance, the words 'SS-Waffen' were also marked. I knew all the officers, for instance, Oberscharfuehrer Riedel, Rottenfuehrer Mohrwinkel, Unterscharfuehrer Schramek. I know that the leaders of the SS Waffen, as well as the regiment of the SS Waffen whose seat was in the same building where I worked, participated directly in all the expulsions of the Jews from the district of Lublin. In these expulsions thousands of persons were killed on the spot and the rest sent away for extermination, I myself saw how, in the winter of 1941, the 'SS-Waffen' of 21 Warschauer Street participated in the deportation of some hundred Jews to Maidanek, when several persons were killed on the spot. At that time my father was also deported because of his long beard, as this action mainly concerned Jews with beards. I know that Rottenfuehrer Mohrwinkel directed this action and was promoted to the rank of Untersturmfuehrer for it. I worked for the Waffen SS until November 1942, i.e., until I was transported to Radom.
The same persons participate the whole time in all the crimes of the SS in Lublin and district. I wish to point out that these SS men kept their herses in the stables on the airdrome where there was a notice: 'Mounted Regiment SS Waffen.'
THE PRESIDENT: I think we should give the witness an opportunity to speak about this document if he prefers.
MR. ELWYN JONES: If your Lordship wishes. BY MR. ELWYN JONES:
Q Witness, you heard me reading the last document. From what you heard him say that the Waffen SS participated directly, and also his reference to the SS Mounted Regiment, the Waffen SS in the Lublin district, those were men in the Waffen SS, weren't they?
A The names that were read off were not officers. Of course, I do not know the names of all units. During the war the men in the Waffen SS were mostly in the front lines, and the front lines were not in Lublin but were more Eastward. The name Mounted Regiment SS Waffen was mentioned, but this might have been the replacement of a Mounted Regiment unit, however, I cannot give you any particulars. and not members of the Waffen SS because the members of the Waffen SS were at the front lines? of those in the rear. There were very few in the rear lines because all other units were at the front, and those units at the front were the Waffen SS. of the SS. What other units were there if this wasn't a Waffen SS unit? behind the lines.
Q You mean they were masquerading under the name of the Waffen SS? this matter. D-953, which will be GB-566. The last is GB-565. I beg your pardon, your Lordship, but this will be GB-565. This is an affidavit by David Wajnapel.
"A few weeks after the entry of the German troops into Radom, police and SS authorities arrived. At the very monent of their arrival, the conditions became immediately worse. The house in the Zeromskist where their headquarters was became a menace to the entire population. People who were walking in this street were dragged into the gateway, and ill-treated by merciless beatings and by the staging of sadistic games. All members of the SS officers, as well as other ranks, took part in this. Being a physician, I often had the opportunity to give medical help to seriously injured victims of the SS.
" After a short time the SS uniform became a menace to the population. I myself was beaten up until I bled, by four other ranks in the street in spite of my doctor's armlet. Later on two ghettoes were established in Radom. In August 1942 the so-called 'deportation' took place. The ghettos were surrounded by many SS units who occupied all the street exists. People were driven out to the streets and those who ran were fired at. Sick people at home or in hospitals were shot on the spot, among others also the sick people who were in hospital where I was working as a doctor. The total number of people killed amounted to about 4,000. About 3,000 people were spared and the rest -- about 20,000 people -- were sent to Treblinka.
The whole action was directed and executed by the SS. I myself saw that the SS staff were on the spot forming a group and issuing orders. In the streets and in the houses SS men ill-treated and killed people without waiting for orders. After the 'deportation', the remaining group of people were massed in a few narrow lanes and we came under the exclusive rule of the SS and became the private property of the SS who used to hire us out for payment to various firms. I know that these payments were credited to a special SS account at the Radom Bank Emisyjny. We were visited by SS men only. Executions carried out by the SS in the ghetto itself were frequent occurrence. On 14 January 1947 another 'deportation' at Treblinka took place. On 21 March 1943 in the whole district there took place the so-called action against the intelligentsia which action, as I know, was decided upon in an SS and Police Fuehrer's meeting in Radom. In Radom alone about 200 people were shot at that time; among others, my parents, my brother and his nine-months old child met their deaths. On 9 November of the same year all Jewish children up to 12 years of age as well as the old and sick were gathered from Radom and from camps situated near Radom and shot in the biala Street in Radom. Both SS officers and other ranks participated in this. From March 1943 I stayed 18 months in Blizyn camp. The camp was entirely under the SS and the Radom Police Chief's control. Its commandant was Untersturmfuehrer Paul Nell. The guards were composed of SS privates and NCO's. The foreman were Waffen SS men who had been wounded at the front. Both behaved in an inhuman manner by beating and ill-treating us. Shootings of people were frequent occurrences. Originally sentences were pass by the SS and Police Fuehrer, later on by the camp commandant. The SS other ranks knew very well about the bloody deeds which were committed by the SS in Poland, in particular they told me personally about mass murders of Jews on Maidenek (in November, 1943). This fact was no secret. It was common knowledge among the civil population as well as among the lowest ranking SS men. When the camp was taken over by the Maidenek concentration camp, new guards were sent to our camp, but there was no difference between them and the previous ones. In July 1944 the whole camp, including myself, was sent to Auschwitz camp, which could be entered only by SS men.
The conditions of this camp are well known. I escaped during the evacuation of this camp into Germany. On the way, the SS escort machine-gunned exhausted prisoners and later on the rest of the inarching column. Several hundred people were killed at that time. is underlined. Do you deny the SS participated in the murders of Jewish people in view of affidavits like that?
A. It is expressly noted here in this document that the Police Fuehrer and the SS are mentioned in those places where the SD worked with the SS, but they had nothing in common with the SS and all examples mentioned by you, Mr. Prosecutor, I must say that only the affidavit by Maria Bukewska and the one about the Mounted Regiment are members of the SS. Beyond that, I cannot tell you of my own experiences.
THE PRESIDENT: Will you read the last paragraph to him?
MR. ELWYN JONES: The last paragraph may help you on this.
"I emphasize that during the few years of war, being a Jew and a doctor, I met a great number of SS men from the Waffen SS as well as other formations and of various ranks, but I must state that I noticed no defference between them as far as their inhuman attitude towards the civilian population was concerned." BY MR. ELWYN JONES:
Q. The Waffen SS was always the cause for any of these acts against the population. That was its function, that its whole .....
A. No, it was not the function of the Waffen SS. The Waffen SS was incorporated into the Army.
Q. Did you ever, on this particular point, see Hitler's directive about the future of the SS?
A. I did not understand your question.
Q. Did you ever see Hitler's directive?
A. Directives by Hitler regarding the future of the SS? No, I don't know that.
Q. In that directive which is, I think, familiar to the Tribunal, it is the document D-665, GB-280, Hitler points out that the functions of the Waffen SS are to be the spearhead of Nazism and to be used as an agent for effective acts against resistance at home and against opposition in foreign countries. Did you see those instructions of Hitler's on the role of the Waffen SS?
A. Is that perhaps a directive sent by Hitler to the military offices dealing with the future of the Waffen SS after the war?
Q. That was a directive of 1941 which was distributed to regimental units and was made available to the Waffen SS. I have not got the document available at the moment. Do you say you never heard of that?
A. No, I know only a directive which was an oral one and which contained the intentions of the organization after the war; a directive which went only to the various Army units.
THE PRESIDENT: Perhaps this would be a convenient time to break off.
(A short recess was taken.)
MR. ELWYN JONES: If your Lordship please, I want to make 6 Aug M LJG 7-1 a slight correction of the exact numbers of these documents.
The document GB-953 was put in twice as GB-564 and 565. GB-953 will be 564 and the next document D-955 will be GB-565.
THE PRESIDENT: The last document you mentioned will be what -- 564, 565? You mentioned some other document after that.
MR. ELWYN JONES: The next document D-955, which I am just putting in, will be GB-565. This is a final affidavit from a Jewish merchant, Mojzesz Goldberg, and It reads:
"On the 23 June 1941 I was called up into the Soviet army in Lemberg. In the middle of July I was taken prisoner by the Germans. At a locality 5 kilometres from Podwoloczysk the SS companies sought the Jews out of the whole mass of prisoners and shot them on the spot. I remained alive as they did not recognize me as a Jew. I stress the fact that it was the Waffen SS. who did this.
"After my captivity was ended, I lived In Radom and worked from June 1942 to July 1944 for the Waffen SS at 3 places; the SS Veterinary Reinforcement Detachment, Koscinskistreet, the Garrison administration of the Waffen SS, Planty 11 and the Building directorate of the Waffen SS, Slowacki Street 27. As I worked so long for the SS, I know the names and faces of all the offices and NCOs of the above named detachments of the Waffen SS very well. At the head of the SS Veterinary Reinforcement Detachment were Sturmbannfuehrer Dr. Held and Hauptsturmfuehrer Schreiner; at the head of the garrison administration there was Obersturmfuehrer Grabau ( at present in Dachau camp) and at the head of the Building directorate Oberscharfuehrer Seiler. All the persons mentioned took a direct part, together with their companies in carrying out the expulsions in Radom on the 5, 16, and 17 August 1942, during which xome thousands of people were shot on the spot. I know that the SS Veterinary Reinforcement companies went to the provincial town to carry but the 'expulsions' of Jews. I heard individual soldiers boasting about the number of Jews they had killed.
I know from 6 Aug M LJG 7-2 their own stories that those some companies participated in the actions against Polish partisans and also set the surrounding Polish villages on fire."
BY MR. ELWYN JONES: part in the atrocities that were committed in Poland? How could units of veterinary companies Participate in such measures? I can't say any more than that because I don't know the particular units. the Waffen SS, who knew them personally, who spoke to them. He is a man of thirty-six year who suffered at their hands and he has mentioned in detail whatever the Waffen SS units are concerned with. Do you still way that the Waffen SS had no part in these matters? belonged to the Waffen SS and I can't tell you any more than that. BY THE PRESIDENT: mentioned in this letter?
Q Have you ever been in Radom?
Q. Do you know whether there were Waffen SS at any of these places named in this affidavit?
A I am afraid I didn't understand, your Lordship. of units at any of the places named in that affidavit?
A These units weren't stationed there, belonging to the division in question. which were quartered at particular places in Radon and what I was asking was, whether you know what units were stationed at 6 Aug M LJG 7-3 these places?
BY MR: ELWYN JONES: ted International Law and committed no atrocities in the field. in a summary of the charges submitted to the United Nations War Crimes Commission by the National Commissions of the various countries which suffered at the hands of the Waffen SS. In addition to this summary, I can hand in certified true copies of the charges themselves which set out the facts of the incidents that are complained of. I submit that such charges and such summaries have probative value. It is true that the charges themselves have not you resulted in trials .and that the culprits named have not themselves been tried. The reasons for that are many-fold but I do submit that these summaries of charges have probative value and I invite the Court's ruling with regard to them.
THE PRESIDENT: Perhaps you can tell us a little bit more in regard to the documents you are seeking to put in evidence?
MR. ELWYN JONES: The documents I am seeking to put in evidence are set up under the names of the various Waffen SS divisions, the unit involved, the date of the commission of the offense complained of, the place, the nature of the incident itself, and the source of the information. They are from the files of the United Nations War Crimes Commission, or of a SHAEF Court of Inquiry which put the matter up to the United Nations War Crimes Commission.
THE PRESIDENT: With reference to the evidence, it is only a reference. It does not contain the evidence or summary of the evidence.
MR. ELWYN JONES: It contains the summary of the evidence. The charges which I shall hand in to the Tribunal contain fully the details which I intend to use. There is no objection to your Lordship's looking at one of them.
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Elwyn Jones, are you submitting the reports under Article 21 in any way ?
MR. ELWYN JONES: They ore official reports submitted by the National authorities to the United Nations war Crimes Commission and they embody evidence of witnesses and which are reduced to summary documents formed as charges. without prejudice to the question as to whether to admit the document or not, it might be helpful. If your Lordship please, Sir David Maxwell Fife is in a position to list the arrangement of the United Nations War Crimes Commission with regard to these charges and it might be helpful to indicate the machinery to the Tribunal.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FYFE: Your Lordship, under Article 21 of the Charter, it says, the Tribunal shall take judicial notice of official Governmental documents and reports of the United Nations, including the acts and documents of the committees set up in various Allied countries for the investigation of war crimes.
The procedure which was set up was that the United Nations War Crimes Commission under Lord Finley, and later under Lord Reiter, would gather the material, examine it, and send it back to the respective prosecuting nation.
The procedure was that the National Office sent a report to the United National war Crimes Commission who then considered it and sent it back to the authority in the various countries which dealt with the prosecution of the crimes. My Lordship, what is being put forward at the moment is a synopsis of the report sent by various countries to the United Nations war Crimes Commission, in the form of suggested charges that should be brought and a summary of the supporting evidence. These are available and authenticated, and the document which we should like to use, for the convenience of the Tribunal, is a synopsis of these charges, shaving the unit, the date, the place, and incident, and the source, including the United Nations War Crimes Commission files.
THE PRESIDENT: Sir David Fyfe, as I understand what you have said, these documents, of which this is a summary, came forward to the United War Crimes Commission for some action by them for some form of approval, after which they would send them back to the country concerned and would be sent to a Tribunal for trying those individuals which the United war Crimes Commission approved the trial of. This is a summary which has not been approved by the United Nations War Crimes Commission.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FYFE: They may or may not. It is an early stage of a report of the United Nations War Crimes Commission. Each of the United Nations sent it for investigating and reporting on war crimes. That was an essential stop the National Office had first of all, to collect the evidence, put forward the charge, and put forward that report to the United Nations War Crimes Commission. It then came back with on approval or comment by the United Nations War Crimes Commission to the prosecuting authority of the various country. For the sake of clarification, if I can give my own case when I was in charge of this:
The British National Office was in charge of Sir Thomas Bidion, the Treasury Solicitor, who collected the reports from the various nations. He sent those forward to the United Nations War Crimes Commission. They made their comment. It came back to no and I decided whether there would be a prosecution or not. To my Lordship, I am putting this forward as on authenticated report of the United Nations office. It is the committee which was established to collect the evidence and to forward that evidence to the United Nations body. What we submit is the fact that each of the United Nations, by an authoritive committee, collected the evidence, summarized the evidence, and put it forward, which in its form, does ipso facto give it probative value.
THE PRESIDENT: You say that in Article 21 it says in the following words, documents of the committee set up in various Allied countries for investigation of war crimes ?
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FYFE: That is so, yes.
********** THE PRESIDENT:
The Tribunal would like to look at the Document and see just exactly what is its make-up.
Do you have an original Document
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FIFE: My lord, this is one which is certified by Colonel Leningham, the secretary-general of the United Nations War Crimes Commission. War Crimes Commission, as many of them have.
THE PRESIDENT: We have looked at the Document. Now, before the Tribunal adjourns for the purpose of considering this matter, they would hear anything further you wish to say, Sir David.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FYFE: My Lord, I would call your attention to the number, of course, that had reached the stage of being approved by the United Nations War Crimes Commission. That would be necessary to my argument.
THE PRESIDENT: The summary of your asking is that you wish to make use of the summary which you have.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FYFE: I want to make that comment.
THE PRESIDENT: The approval of the decision rests with the national authority?
SIR DAVID MAXWELL FYFE: When I was the Attorney General, it rested with me. I understand the same procedure is in effect in other countries where it rests with the national authority.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, Dr. Pelckmann.
DR. PELCKMANN: Whether the evidence which the prosecution will now present is available in the appropriate form and whether as a report from Allied Government, or from the United Nations War Crimes Commission, it can be used, or whether Article 21 can be applied to it, is something which I cannot judge at the moment. I am leaving that confidently in the hands of the Tribunal. What appears important to me is that according to Article 21 the High Tribunal can take cognizance of that Document, but only during the Prosecutions' presentation of evidence. We are now in themiddle of submitting evidence for the Defense and if the Prosecution are making these reports the subject of their Cross Examination, then there doesnot seem to be any objection to that, according to rules of procedure. But, if it is only a judicial notice on the part of the Tribunal without making these reports a part of the cross examination, I do not think it permissible for the SS witnesses who are being called to define their attitude to these Documents.
THE PRESIDENT: Isn't that really a matter for theTribunal to decide? It is a matter ofwhether the Documents should be put in now when the witness can comment on them. Whether it cones under Article 21 is a matter to be decided, that is a matter of law. Whether it should be put in now or after seems to be a matter entirely for the Tribunal.
DR. PELCKMANN: It is my impression that it is important, if the High Tribunal will accept these reports as evidence under Article 21, then it is my conviction that they can only accepted since the evidence for the prosecution has been completed, in order to put it before the witness. If the Document is put to the witness, I would consider it just, if, considering, the extraordinary tremendous size of the Documents, the Defense would be given sufficient opportunity to secure the facts for re-examination of the Document, That would take several days. If the Document should be accepted by the Tribunal without examining the witness, that is inadvisable, since the evidence for the Persecuting has been completed and this would be an inadmissable extension of the material for the Tribunal and this would be a limitation for the Defense.
THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will consider what you say. Dr. Pelckmann. The Tribunal will adjourn.
(A recess was taken) THE PRESIDENT:
The Tribunal does not in any way accept Dr. Pelckmann's submission that it is inconvenient or unfair to the defense that documents should be put in at this stage.
It considers that in all the circumstances of the case and having regard to the late stage at which the trial has arrived, and having regard to the nature of the document which is offered in evidence by the prosecution, that the Tribunal ought not to admit the document now. BY LT. COL. GRIFFITH JONES: during the course of the war?
Q Just one moment, what was it called? What was its name?
A the division later was called "Das Reich" Division. It originally had the name VD Division and beginning 1942, 1944, it was the Second SS Panzer Corps. Beginning in 1944 I was retransferred ....
Q I don't want to leave the "Das Reich" Division for a moment. During what period were you serving with the "Das Reich" Division?
Q In what periods were you serving with the "Das Reich" Division? From what date? October 1941.
Q You did not return to serve with that division at all? Commanding General and Supreme Commander of the Army.
Q So that the "Das Reich" Division wasthe only division you served with in the field as a divisional commander, was it?
Q But the "Das Reich" was the only division which you commanded personally during the course of the war? commander.
"Das Reich"?
A They were changing. Later there were three other divisions which belonged to my Panzer Corps.
Q What were those divisions?
A First of all it was the First Division, the Leinstandarte Corps; second the "Das Reich" Division, and third the Totenkopf Division. Later, in 1944, the 9th and 10th Divisions belonged to it.
Q What were the names of these divisions?
A The names were Hohenstaufen and Goetz von Berlichingen; I beg your pardon, Frundsberg. command? end of January, until the beginning of August, was part of my command.
Q From January 1943 to August 1943? Kharkov, you were in command of the Corps, rather, in which the Leibstandard Division was, when it was fighting near Kharkov in the spring of 1943, weren't you? Kharkov, yes. was burned by the Second Regiment of the Leibstandarte Division?
Q And that that regiment also burned down Stanitschnoje? tion in the spring of 1943, near Kharkov? fighting at that time did not give enough time for tasks other than military tasks. they went through - are you saying that? That was one of the outstanding characteristics of your form of warfare on the Eastern Front, wasn't it?
A No, I deny that. The conception of "scorched earth" was not created by us. If villages went up in flames during the fighting that was sometimes unavoidable. I do not believe that the villages were set on fire intentionally because it was in the interest of the operations we were carrying out that these villages had to be retaken. was telling theofficers of your three SS Divisionsof the terrible reputation they had created, wasn't it? Those were typical instances of your fame on the Eastern Front, weren't they?
A No, Heinrich Himmler did not say anything about that. He mentioned terror, which I personally refused.
Q The "Das Reich" Division, When was that under your command?
A The "Das Reich" Division was under my command at the same time, say the end of January 1943 until August of the same year. Army Commander?
A. Afterwards only when I was commanding an Army did the Division come under my command again, at Normandy. of villages that the "Das Reich" Division was responsible for in Southern France in the month of June, 1944? during the fight against the DeGaulle army, there was fighting during which villages had been set on fire. At that time the Division was not yet under my command. I was still in the East. I only learned of these events here during my captivity. burned as punitive measures by units of your Waffen SS Divisions. Did you never hear reports of those incidents? one case in Southern France. burned the village of St. Germain de Belair. You know nothing of that?
A No, at the moment I don't know.
Q And Oradour sur Glane? The Panzer Grenadier Regiment 4 was responsible for that atrocity, wasn't it, when 793 men, women and children were murdered? You never heard of the atrocities performed by the "Das Reich" Division when it was a component part of your Corps? captivity, from the Indictments. Before that I had no knowledge of it. It was concerned with an individual company belonging to that Division, which was put into action through local office of the Feldcommandantur.
Q The Panzer Grenadier Regiment was that not under your command? got there the end of June. That is when I reached France from the East. terror purposes then, was it not -- the very point I have been putting to you for many minutes through this cross-examination? characteristic of divisions of the Waffen-SS.
Q The Death Head Division, when did you command that? January until August 1943. Division murdered about 45,000 Jewish men, women and children in Warsaw?
A In what year was that supposed to have happened? division belonged, the Totenkopf Division, with the great tradition of the murders in concentration camps? ing at Warsaw but at Kharkov. That was apparently a mistake regarding the men and the guards of the concentration camps. Division had shot 40 Russian prisoners of war near Kharkov in August 1943, for instance? Kharkov. It was by itself.
LT. COLONEL GRIFFITH JONES: Would that be a convenient time to adjourn? I have only a few more questions to put to this witness.
(A recess was taken until 1400 hours) (The hearing reconvened at 1400 hours, August 6, 1946) BY MR. ELWYN JONES: for the massacre at Lidice in June 1942?
