No Arrests Made In Goering Poison Probe
Sources inside Nuernberg jail say 12 German workers are under constant scrutiny by an Army board investigating how Hermann Goering obtained cyanide to kill himself. They are described as protectively held, not under arrest, as the secrecy around Goering’s burial and the notes he left in his cell fuels speculation. The board is questioning all who might have had contact with the Reichsmarschall in his final days, and no arrests have been made.
