Nazi Guards On Trial
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)
(Rec. 8 p.m.) BONN, Nov. 11. Gustav Sorge, a former guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, today confessed before a Bonn Court that he murdered two prisoners and that it was possible he murdered three other prisoners, together with another guard, Wilhelm Schubert, the British United Press reported. Sorge and Schubert are being tried for taking part in the murder of more than 10,000 prisoners at the camp, but the other guard, Schubert, said today: “I did not murder’* when asked about the five prisoners. The two men were charged today with killing Karl Schulz, who was sent to the concentration camp in November, 1939, for saying when on hearing that England had declared war:—“Now we can’t win the war any more.” Sorge and Schubert sprayed Schulz with cold and boiling water alternately until he died, the charges said.
