HITLER IN HAMBURG?
RUMOUR INVESTIGATED
Rec noon. LONDON, September 7. British security police are investigating strong rumours that Hitler and Bormann have been seen in Hamburg, says the Associated Press correspondent. A recent broadcast was allegedly picked up in Sweden from Bormann. It declared that Hitler was alive and in good health in Germany. Goering has been cured of his drug habit and is in perfect health for his trial with other major war criminals. This was stated in London today by a spokesman for Mr. Justice Jackson, America's war crimes prosecutor. According to Tom Blake, public relations officer to Judge Jackson, Goering when captured had a suitcase holding 20,000 paracodeine tablets. He was then taking 20 daily. The doctors broke Goering of the habit by tapering off the doses.
Blake said that the leading Nazi war criminals at Nuremburg were being treated humanely, but severely. Goering, Ribbentrop, Ley, Rosenberg, Frank, ' Streicher, yon Keitel, yon Papen, and Jodl occupied bare concrete cells with a nameplate on the door. Prisoners were not allowed belts, braces, ties, or shoe laces.
