Testifies For Kilian At German Military Trial
Testimony in Bad Nauheim today split officers’ views of Col. James A. Kilian. Capt. Roy E. King testified Kilian was fair and disciplined, denying observed beatings at the Lichfield depot guardhouse. Capt. William S. Comfort said he found no proof of cruelty despite prisoners’ alleged complaints. Comfort noted prisoners’ claims often reflect lies to chaplains and stressed he did not report such matters.
