GESTAPO IN NORWAY
Exiled Government Publishes Booklet CAREFUI/LY SIFTED ACCOUNT Rec. 10 a.m. LONDON, Feb. 7. The Norwegian Government in London has authorised the publication of a booklet entitled "The Gestapo at Work in Norway," detailing the Gestapo's hideous maltreatment of Norwegians from the evidence of eye-witnesses, sifted under judicial conditions. These "interrogations" were made in sound-proof rooms and sometimes lasted 15 hours. The witnesses had seen prisoners burned with soldering irons, their fingernails pulled out and sharp, blinding lights used to break down resistance. "The German inquisitioners, foaming at the mouth, seemed to take a sadistic delight in the prisoners' pain."
