CONDEMNED NAZI ESCAPES
ASSISTED FROM OUTSIDE (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, December 14. “Berthold Heilig, a former Nazi Party official, has escaped from the Brunswick prison, in the British zone of Germany, where he was awaiting execution on a murder charge,” says the Brunswick correspondent of the British United Press. British officials believe that the “rescue squad” which helped him may have aided the escape ot other Nazis. The prisoner was provided with a 30ft rope ladder, and a motor-cycle with a side-car was waiting for him. His wife was visited by a member of the rescue squad, who said that the organisation had plenty of money and had freed Otto Skorzeny, the man who kidnapped Mussolini and escaped from the Darmstadt internment camp earlier this year.
