German leaders fall from favor as war nears end
Paris April 6 An Associated Press report says German civilians grow friendlier to prisoners and foreign workers as the war nears conclusion, yet fear of the Gestapo keeps many from showing it.

Death penalties widen to crimes from listening to the BBC to consorting with workers, with Nazi officials and mayors among recent executions or hangings.
