Keite| Says He Tried
But Failed 10 HeIp
Captured Aviators
BY the Assoeioted Press

NUREMBERG, April 5.-Field
Marshal Wilhelm Keitel told the
International Military Tribunal to-
day he tried in vain to have SO
British aviators returned to the
prison camp from which they had
escaped in 1914 but was shouted
down by Adolf Hitler, who ordered
Heinrich Himmler to take custody
Of them.
Testifying for the third day in
his own defense, the former chief of
the German high command solemnly
swore that it was not until several
days after this stormy session that
he learned the flyers had been
shot.
Il tried to retain those already
recaptured and returned to camp"
he said. I'm that I succeeded but
that was all"
Keitel said when he first learned
of the mass escape he intended
to delete the incident from his daily
report to Hitler, but Himmler ar
rived at headquarters and told the
whole story.
This brought "a serious clash be-
tween Hitler and myself" Keitel
said. He raised the most incred-
ible accusations against me. The
Fuehrer was extremely excited and
said these prisoners were to remain
with the police"
Keitel conceded that he sent in
Structions to Berlin in 1912 to study
the idea of tattooing Soviet pris-
oners, but desisted after Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
reported "the whole thing was ex-
tremely tricky"
Keitel said Gen. Henri Giraud.
the French general who collaborated
with the Allies in the invasion of
North Africa, sent a secret envoy to
France early in 1914 to ascertain
whether the Germans would permit
him to return to his family home,
guarded by the Gestapo, from AL
geria.
The question was put to me, and
Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl (chief of staff
of the German Army is my witness
to it," Keitel said. MY answer was
that he would be given the same
as Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand. But actually nothing hap
pened.'
