Nazis Charged With Crimes Against US
Trials of Germans accused of offenses against American troops will begin within weeks. Justice Robert Jackson said proceedings for top Nazi war criminals may start later as Allied powers finalize the international tribunal. Also reported were the deaths of Reich Air Chief Field Marshal Robert Ritter von Greim and the surrender of Danzig governor Albert Forster. Minor figures including Paula Hitler were rounded up as fighting continued in Europe and in Syria and Austria. A separate report described unrest in Carinthia and renewed clashes near Damascus amid French-Syrian tensions. A home break in Cleveland Heights ended with the suspect fleeing.
