Nazi expert Sydnor to aid Baumann trial in Milwaukee
Scripps Howard reports Charles Sydnor, 47, president of Emory & Henry College, will review Nazi camp documents over Christmas to set the scene for Anton Baumann’s January trial in Milwaukee. Sydnor, OSS expert witness since 1980, will describe Waffen SS guards and camp conditions at Stutthof near Gdansk to support deportation efforts. He plans to work quietly as 850 students are away, using the time to focus on the case.
