HC Deb 31 October 1944 vol 404 c642W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Prime Minister whether, as we advance into Germany, we are proposing to constitute courts to try Gestapo and similar criminals accused of murder and torture contrary to the laws of war.

The Prime Minister

It is certainly the intention of His Majesty's Government that suitable courts should be constituted for trying any Germans, whether they belong to the Gestapo or not, who are alleged on sufficiently strong grounds to have been guilty of offences against the rules of war. The exact constitution of these courts is at present under consideration by the Allies.
