The Frankfurter Zeitung reported today that the Wilhelm Gustloff foundation, established yesterday in memory of the Nazi leader slain in Switzerland by a Jewish medical student, has been given control over the Simson munitions works, which were Jewish-owned until they were confiscated by Nazi district authorities in 1935.

Reichsfuchrer Hitler appointed District Leader Sauckel of Thuringia as director of the foundation.
