German Police Arrest Freed Nazi Official
In Stuttgart, Dr. Richard Schmid state attorney of Wuerttemberg Baden challenged the arrest of Hjalmar Schacht on charges of leading Nazi ties.

The denazification board in Nuremberg announced proceedings against Schacht, Franz von Papen, and Hans Fritsche, despite earlier American cautions to hold off arrest until denazification trials.
