The hanging Of Karl Hermann
Frank, Hitler's "protector" of Bo-
hemia and Moravia, yesterday in
Prague as the widows of Lidice
watched was the end of the road
for one of the major scoundrels of
the war, and probably the worst
hated.
He had one glass eye. 1t was
perfectly made but, as folks in
Prague used to say. there were some
occasions when it could be dis
tinguished from his good eye. That
was when he was witnessing some
exceptional atrocity. If one looked
close Pickering gleam of pity might
be seen in one eye-the glass one.
Frank was Sudeten German by
birth-a former unsuccessful Karls-
bad bookseller. He was condemned
specifically for ordering the Lidice
massacre, but this was only one in
stance of his ruthless cruelty. He
must have realized that he was
marked for death, if he ever fell
into the hands of Czech justice
May 7, year ago, was his doomsday
and he raved like damned soul
The Wehrmacht already had
capitulated to Gen. Karel Kutavassy
leader of the underground army
and was trying to get out of Prague
to surrender to the Americans 40
miles away rather than become
prisoners of the Russians. From the
north and east were advancing
armored troops of Marshal Zhukov's
Red Army.
| Screamed Over Radio.
Frank, from his headquarters at
Hrdcany palace, ancient residence
OF the kings of Bohemia on hill
top towering over the baroque city
straddling the Vltava, screamed like
tortured flend over the radio:
Prague will never survive the
Reich"
1t was intended as a threat of
destruction. His despairing appeals
went unheeded by Maj Gen. Tous-
saint, the relatively innocent Wehr-
macht commander in the protec-
torate, who sought only to save his
own skin.
But a small group of SIS troops
with some light tanks remained
loyal to Frank. They themselves
expected no mercy, whether they
fell into Allied or Russian hands.
They did their best to carry out the
threat of the protector. They ran
wild through the city streets with
their tank turrets whirling and
massacred about 5000 persons.
Then, fearing the Russians were
closer than they really were, both
the SIS men and Frank became
panic-stricken and fled with their
tanks into the country. There, ap-
parently, they separated. The next
night Frank was captured alone in
SIDE the lines of the I'd United States
Infantry Division which was de-
ployed around PilSen.
All this time Franks wife and
daughter were living in comparative
luxury-although far from the regal
estate of the protector" himself
in mountain villa at an ultra
exclusive Bavarian lake resort near
the lndescribably lovely Tegernsee.
