CAUGHT OUT AGAIN
TRIAL OF KALTENBRUNNER SIGNATURE TO DOCUMENT ADMITTED LONDON, April 14. Kaltenbrunner told the War Crimes Tribunal at Nuremberg that'he did not hear about the escape of the R.A.F. officers from Stalag Luft 111. until six weeks after the executions. He denied knowledge of a document produced, in court in which his predecessor, Heydrich, recommended a complete' cleansing of the eastern regions of all Jews. The document showed that Jews in Riga were reduced from 25,000 to 2,500, and also that 3,000 Jews were shot at Minsk. M. Smirnov showed Kaltenbrunner a letter in which Kaltenbrunner asked Ribbentrop for a grant of 1,000,000 tumans (about £78,000) to further the Nazi cause in Persia. Kaltenbrunner admitted the letter bore his signature, although just previously-he had denied to M. Smirnov that he would .have dreamed of such a thing. He admitted he had intelligence agents working in Persia.
