Court Martial Acquittals in Zabern Row Spark Debate
In Strassburg today, German officers were acquitted on all charges related to Zabern violence after courts accepted civilian testimony as less credible. Col. Von Reuter was cleared of wrongful imprisonment, Lieut Schad freed for lack of proof, and Lieut Baron von Forstner won an appeal overturning 43 days. The ruling cites an 1820 Prussian decree authorizing military intervention without civilian requests in Alsace, justified to prevent further disorder despite illegality of overnight prisoner detention.
