HC Deb 21 October 1946 vol 427 c303W
Mr. Paget

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster the number of Germans, other than ex-members of the Gestapo and S.S., who are being held in concentration camps in Germany without having been charged with any personal offence; and whether, in view of the acquittal at Nuremberg of the German organisations other than the S.S. and Gestapo, he will take steps to release these men.

Mr. J. Hynd

About 31,000 such Germans are held in the British zone. Their cases are being reviewed individually by British review boards and those who are judged to constitute no security danger to Allied occupation will be released. Figures are not available for the other zones of occupation.
