The West German Government warned today that victims of Nazism who had filed indemnification claims prior to the expiration of the filing deadline under the Federal Indemnification Law, of April 1, 1958, and wish to file additional claims, have only until December 31 of this year to enter the new claims.
Previously, there had been no time limit on the filing of additional claims by persons in that category. Now, however, it was emphasized that there is a time limit, which will expire at the end of the 1965 calendar year.
