HC Deb 27 February 1946 vol 419 c397W
Colonel Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Secretary of State for War when the two senior German officers who were brought to England under officer escort on 12th August, 1945 will be brought to trial for their complicity in the mass shooting of R.A.F. officers who had escaped from German prison camps

Mr. Bellenger

These officers were brought to this country for interrogation as it was thought that they might be able to throw some light on the question of those who were responsible for the mass execution to which the hon. and gallant Member refers. There is no question at the moment of their being brought to trial; I am advised that the evidence at present available is not sufficient to justify this course being taken.
