Ten former members of Hitler’s police were acquitted in Bochum yesterday of taking part in the killing of 8,800 Jews in Russia between 1941 and 1944. The court complied with the prosecution’s demand that the men, now between 52 and 56 years of age, be cleared because they had acted under orders and their guilt could no longer be proved beyond reasonable doubt, a report said.
