Count Hellodorf was in command of the anti-Jewish excesses which occurred in Berlin on Rosh Hashanah, a man named Mill, who is employed as a waiter in the Hitlerist Club, declared to-day in giving evidence in the trial against Count Helldorf, and the other Hitlerists accused of having directed the anti-Jewish outbreak. The day after the excesses, he said, a Nazi official named Tiecke had boasted to him, “We did a good job of work in the Kurfuerstendamm, because Helldorf led us so ably.”
The Presiding Judge thereupon turned to Tiecke and asked him whether it was true that Helldorf had led them, and Tiecke replied: Some Nazi comrades told me that Helldorf had led them, but I refuse to give the names of my comrades.
