Meyer May Serve Sentence in British Military Prison
London February 1. General Kurt Meyer, German divisional commander, may serve his life sentence for atrocities against Canadian POWs in Britain rather than in Canada. Canada lacks a military prison, so he could be placed in a civilian penitentiary or in special accommodation. Britain has several military prisons including the Tower of London. Possible outcomes include keeping him in Britain until a democratic German government is restored or sending him to a civilian penitentiary in Germany or placing him under UN security police if such a body operates there. An earlier report said Meyer's death sentence was commuted to imprisonment and suggested Collins Bay prison near Kingston, Ontario, as a lodging option, which Ottawa Defence HQ declined to confirm.
