Phone 672-1621 Nazi Official At Auschwitz Goes On Stand FRANKFURT, Germany (UPI) A former top official at the Nazis Auschwitz extermi nation camp today denied any responsibility for killings at the camp and said he was horri fied at the smell of the burn ing bodies. Karl Hoecker, 52, a former assistant commandant at Aus chwitz, told a German court he did only "paper work" and merely followed orders. Hoecker is one of 22 men on trial for their roles in the kill ing of 2.5 to 4 million Jews, Poles ' and other prisoners at Auschwitz in German-occupied Poland during World War II. The trial is Germany's biggest for war crimes in the postwar period. When asked by Chief Judge Hans Hofmeyer about the smell from the huge crematoriums next to the mammoth gas chambers at Auschwitz, Hoeck er wiped his sweating brow and replied; We were horrified. We didn't think something like this was possible." Like other defendants in the five-day-old trial, Hoecker put the blame on Adolf Hitler and his other superiors. He said he did nothing without orders from above. "We even had to write to Ber lin for authority to beat prsi oners," he said. Hofmeyer asked Hoecker what he had to do with killing inmates. The defendant an swered "nothing," but then add ed that he did process four or five mass execution orders. He is accused specifically of being responsible for operation of the gas chambers. "But to the best of my knowl edge these orders were legal," he said, "because they had been passed on to me by my superiors."
