The continuous pealing of the Ploetzensee Prison bell after 6 o’clock this morning was an indication that the executioner was busy beheading four young Communists, whose ages ranged from 22 to 31, who had long terrorised Berlin. They raided banks and shops in the manner of Chicago gangsters, and finally made onslaughts on Nazis and Storm Troopers, of whom nine were seriously injured.
