Kuhn asserts brother was German judge in Berlin
Fritz Kuhn testified before the Dies committee that his brother Max Kuhn served as a Berlin supreme court justice under the Nazi regime. He described his own World War II service as four years as a machine gunner and a later lieutenant, said the band membership reached about 20,000, and claimed he ordered destruction of membership records to blunt investigations. He formed a political group in Buffalo in 1936 aiming to include American citizens and denied links to the German government, though he helped the German consul weed out members of the Friends of New Germany in Detroit.
