UNIQUE VIEWPOINT
SOLDIERS RESPONSIBLE FOR POLITICAL DECISIONS DEFENCE AT NUREMBERG (Rec. noon.) NUREMBERG, August 27. Dr Laternser, counsel for the German High Command, before the War Crimes Tribunal pleaded that if the German generals had been politicians Germany might not have fallen into her present ways. He added that attempts had been made to hold the military leaders responsible- as political leaders, but they were not politicians. The method of making Soldiers responsible for political decisions was unique, and it would be contemplated with peculiar feelings by soldiers throughout the World. END IN SIGHT.
, Lord Justice .Lawrence announced that the war crimes trial is expected to finish on August 31, after which the court would, adjourn, probably for a fortnight, for the judges to consider their verdicts.
