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.
