STARVED TO DEATH
POLISH CAPTIVES’ BABIES GERMANS ON TRIAL (9.30 a.m.) LONDON, March 25. Babies were starved to skeletons, declared witnesses in a trial of eight Germans who were accused of using a babies’ home to kill new-born children of Polish slave workers.
The only medical attention the babies received was when a doctor was called to sign the death certificate. One of the accused, the ex-Mayor of Velpke, a village 20 miles from Brunswick, told the investigators, according to the prosecution, that it was immaterial to him whether the children lived or died.
Another accused had stated the children were just as well dead "because they would grow up to be enemies of Germany.”
