US Would Spare Lives of Convicted War Criminals
A special Army commission recommended sparing the lives of a limited number of 139 Nazis sentenced for war crimes. The panel urged a permanent clemency program for Dachau prisoners and reviewed cases including Frau Koch, widow of a Buchenwald commandant, who was commuted to four years and could win freedom next year. The Army withheld exact commutation counts pending Gen. Lucius Clay’s ruling.
