100000 Nazis to
Face War Trial
Entire Gestapo, S. S. Listed
AS Criminals; Death for
Big Shots Sure.

WASHINGTON. - Following the
master trial of big-shot criminals to
begin in Nuremberg next month, it
is expected that 300, 900 to 400, 900
Germans will be placed on trial on
charges of wartime criminal actions.
A reliable and informed official gave
those figures to the United Press.
Twenty-four persons already have
been named for the master trial,
which will be conducted by commits
sioners of the United States, France,
Great Britain and the Soviet Union.
This group includes Hermann
Goering, Rudolf Hess and other
Nazi stars. Among charges to be
included in the indictments is that
the Nazi S. S. and the Gestapo we're
criminal organizations. 1t is ex-
pected that this charge will be
proved adequately at the Nuremberg
proceedings.
Thereafter the trial of small-fry
members of those outlawed outfits
would be largely matters of sum-
mary procedure, the United Press
was informed.
Mostly Gestapo and S. S.
The S.. S. and Gestapo members
will make up a large part of the
300, 900 to 400, 900 persons whose trial
and punishment is forecast.
Some members of these organiza-
tions properly will escape punish
ment, the United Press was in
formed, on grounds that they were
forced into membership and coerced
into obedience.
The Nuremberg master trial is x
pected to be the last joint prosecu-
ton by the four powers. The thou
sands of additional individuals will
be tried by local courts of various
kinds, including military courts and
courts of liberated states.
The "a master trial defendants in
custody almost unquestionably will
be executed, the United Press was
informed. One still is missing. Mar
tin Bormann, Hitler's secretary, has
not been accounted for.
Proof Is Complete.
The German prisoners are de-
scribed as an unprepossessing lot,
some sexually perverted and others
accustomed to the habitual use of
drugs. The proof against them is
said to be so complete, conclusive
and unanswerable as to astonish
even officials who knew the men
were guilty but foresaw some tech
nical difficulties in obtaining sat-
i%sfactory proof.
The four powers are determined
to make an "indisputable record" in
the master trial. 1t will be of such S
detailed and overwhelming nature as +
to make it impossible 10 or 20 or 80 :
years from 10Y for anyone to start /
a propaganda campaign attempting {
to show that the trials were unfair. E
The method of execution has not I
been determined. The u. S. army 4
opposes shooting convicted war \
because military men re- &
gard death by gunfire as an honor \
able exit. 4
Convicted defendants at the mas \
ter trial probably will be hanged. \
Others also may be executed, but it \
is not unlikely that the 300, 900 to &
400, 900 additional trials now fore 4
seen will much more often end in 4
prison or forced labor sentences. 4
Anyway, that is a matter for local q
courts. IN
