NAZIS ARRESTED
Purge In Hamburg HAMBURG, August 17. The Military Government has announced that 271(1 officials have been arrested in the city in a purge aimed at eradicating Nazism from every section of Government life. The purge began last May when British officials raided a city council meeting and arrested 28 officials, including the burgomaster, out of 40 present. The Police Department received special attention, 300 being removed. The British arrested 164 school teachers. A Vienna message states that the new People’s Court sentenced to death three Nazis accused of shooting 102 Hungarian Jews during a “death march.” The accused were Rudolf Kronberger, a butcher, Alois Frank, a cook, and William Neunteufel, a painter. They were guards when the notorious Engerau camp was evacuated, and shot the Jews who, weak from hunger and fatigue, fell out of the marching column.
The first Norwegian war criminal, Haaland, sentenced to death by the Supreme Court in Oslo, was executed to-day after the King had rejected an appeal.
