NAZI TYCOON
THYSBEN IN CAPTIVITY LONDON, August 18. Fritz Thyssen, who helped to finance Hitler’s climb to power, senile and enfeebled, is living quietly with about 75 other survivors of the Nazi financial and industrial hierarchy in a castle near Frankfurt, awaiting the decision of the War Crimes Commission, says the Frankfurt correspondent of the American Associated Press. Thyssen is so feeble that he may not live to face trial. He wears a shirt too large for him and a coat ragged at the elbows, and shows little interest in attempts to fill in gaps in the knowledge of his career. He freely admits his continued support for the "Nazis throughout Hitler’s rise, but claims that he withdrew when he saw the ultimate direction of Germany’s course. Dr.Sehacht and Roechling are with, him in captivity.
