Children Died From Wilful Neglect
(Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 26. The senior nurse and SS doctors of a children's home where 420 infants of Russian and Polish slave-workers died from wilful neglect were sentenced to death by a British military court at Helmstedt, on the British-Russian border of the occupation zone, states Reuter’s Herford correspondent. The children, who were aged between 10 days and six months, were buried in cardboard boxes, with six in some.
They were taken from slave-workers in a factory near Brunswick under the “factory welfare scheme.”
