NAZI PLOT REVEALED
ARMED UPRISING PLANNED ASSASSINATION OF JUDGES LONDON, July 5. It is disclosed that Allied intelligence officers discovered a plot last January by which the Nazis at liberty in Bavaria had planned an armed uprising for February, including an attempt to assassinate the judges and prosecutors at the War Crimes Trial, says the Exchange Telegraph’s Nuremberg correspondent. The plot provided for seven members of the S.S., dressed in Allied uniforms, to enter the courthouse by means of forged credentials, and it is believed that, on a signal from an aeroplane, they were to attempt the assassinations.
When the plot was discovered troops in the Nuremberg area were altered, and special precautions were instituted at the courthouse. These counter-mea-sures, at the time, were described as “ purely routine.” Actually the precautions were carried out with the greatest secrecy.
