Allied Policy of Silence on Seven Imprisoned Nazis
The Allied Control Council in Berlin acts to erase the names and deeds of seven imprisoned Nazi leaders including Doenitz Speer Hess and von Schirach. They will be moved to Spandau prison next month and kept strictly secret. The policy seeks to extinguish public memory of their roles and aims to withhold information on their status or actions. The Soviet stance supports such secrecy to prevent a renewed German memory of Nazi leaders.
