Aachen Occupation Judges Civilians in First German City
American military government in Aachen begins rule after capture. An English speaking judge presides over cases of Germans who disobeyed evacuation and restricted zone orders. Sentences of three and nine months reflect a stern policy to enforce obedience and establish control. Aachen’s civic offices are staffed by temporary German leaders under American supervision as winter hardship and reconstruction loom.
