High Army Men Went Scot Free In France Prison Scandals
Scores of brutal treatment reports from French prison camps were presented before a congressional sub committee on Governor's Island. Witnesses charged high army officers with responsibility, naming Generals Hart8, Smith Strong, and Colonels Grinstead and Maul, along with several captains and lieutenants. The panel said cases would be sent to the inspector general for action while seeking to expose higher level culpability and a pattern across French prisons. Colonel Donaldson testified the blame lay with General Hart8, and questioned why Colonel Grinstead faced no court martial despite Donaldson's earlier recommendation.
