'1 14 Trie Xewi-Revlew, Ronburg, Or, Thurt,, Aug. 21, 1952 U.S. Camera Manufacturer Tells Of Seven-Year Ordeal As Prisoner In Soviet Zones By THOMAS A. HKKDY BERLIN jW A 60-year-old American camera manu facturer trapped in Germany by World War II told Wednes day of seven years spent in Russian Zone prisons, constantly hungry and despairing. Charles Noble, of Detroit, Mich., said in an interview he was finally released by the East Zone on July 4 and shipped to West Berlin where he now is awaiting approval from Washington to return to his home. "H was more than July 4 to me." the chunky, ruddy-fared man de clared. "It was really and truly Independence Day." Born in Germany, Noble emi grated to the U. S. and became an American in 1920. In 1938 he returned to Germany to open a camera factory in Dres den, bringing hia wife and two aons, George and John, with him. Noble laid he had planned to get the business going and return to Detroit after a year or two but was stopped by the war. The Nazi regime refused to permit him to leave, he said. He told this se quence of events after that: Tricked By Russians The Russians, arriving in Dres den in May, 1945, treated him well for about six weeks. He was sent on one trip to the American Zone to get tome optical equipment and on his return the Soviets used that as an excuse to charge him with illegal entry for the purpose of stealing cameras from his own factory. Mrs. Noble and his son, George, were released in January, 1946. Noble and his other son, John, were imprisoned in Dresden, later in the notorious ex-Sari camp at Buchenwald, and finally in the most ill-famed Communist camp now established at Waldheim. Noble said his repeated demands for at least a trial were refused by the German captors because they , said they were not authorized to i try an American. J "They told me the Russians had turned me over to them and there J fore they could neither try me nor I release me," he said bitterly. Finally this spring, Noble said, the East German regime organized I a trial for him at Leipzig, charged him with the old illegal entry com ' plaint and also with having "sup ported the Nazi regime" by engag ing in private enterprise during its tenure. Factory Confiscated The Leipzig court found him guilty, he said, sentenced him li exactly the length of time he had been held since the end of the war, then sent him to West Berlin. Noble's wife remained In Berlin through the years, awaiting his re lease. His son, George, is now in Detroit. He said his former factory at Dresden, now run by the Com munists as a atate enterprise, li manufacturing eight to ten thnu land cameras monthly. He has lit tle hope of ever regaining any part of his investment. Noble maintained his health throughout the seven years, ne aid, because of his peculiar posi tion as an American. His captors were never quite sure what to do about him, he aaid. At one camp in Saxony, he said he wacthed the dead being carried out daily for lack of food.
