HC Deb 11 February 1948 vol 447 c371
39. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the recent escape from internment in Germany of Fritz Kuhn, former leader of the German-American Bund; and how soon this man is to be brought to trial.

Mr. Bevin

Fritz Kuhn escaped from Dachau internment camp in the United States Zone of Germany on 3rd February, 1946. I understand that he had been interned by order of the German denazification authorities pending his appearance before a denazification tribunal. When he is recaptured, it will be for the German authorities to decide how and when his case shall be heard.
