Some 3,500 former Nazis who had been interned by the Allies after the occupation of Germany yesterday massed near Hanover to demand the same compensation payments as voted for Jewish and other victims of the Nazis last week by the German Parliament.
The German Parliament’s action was based on a promise made by the Germans to the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany when the reparations agreement was signed last September. The ex-Nazis, who met on the site of an Allied internment camp, heard speakers praise the “great ideals” of the German people during the Nazi regime.
