ATROCITY FILMS
GERMANS NOT ABASHED NEW YORK, June 27. Pictures of the German concentration camp atrocities did not bring an outward expression of revulsion from any of the 150 Nazi prisoners who were compelled to attend an. official War Department screening on Staten Island (New York) yesterday. Some found the pictorial documentation of inhumanity a cause for- smiles and laughter, others refused to view the scenes, covering up their faces or turning their heads from the screen. The screening was one of the first public tests for the reaction of war prisoners to programmes intended to enlighten and "deNazify" Hitler's followers. The audience included many men who were in the Afrika Corps. .
