THE NAZI MIND
LONDON, April 17
Dr Georg von Schnitzler, a director of the I. G. Farbenindustrie chemical concern, was pleased to seo the Americans when he was captured on the Western Front. He told United States officers that he was looking "forward to visiting America very soon so that he could see "his friends the Du Ponts."
He said he regretted that the records of the Farben works in Frankfurt —the biggest chemical and explosives plant in Germany—had been destroyed. He declined to go to his office to give certain information which the Allied authorities'wanted because it was "such a long way" and he was "getting old." The Americans solved the argument by sending a sergeant with a jeep and a tommy-gun to fetch him.
