Oswald Kaduk, 57, accused of breaking prisoners' necks with a mountain-climbing pick, said he would have remained in Communist East Germany if he had known he would face trial on the charges in the West. He appeared on the witness stand as West Germany s big gest war crimes trial resumed following a 10-day Christmas recess. "If I had known there was so much injustice here, I would not have come," Kaduk shouted defiantly. "Honorable court I have al ready been sentenced and par doned. I stand here innocent," he reported. Pardoned by Soviets Kaduk, a heavy-set former butcher and hospital attendant, said a Soviet army court sen tenced him to death after World War II but then pardoned him. He said he was released from East Germany's Bautzen Prison in 1056 and fled to West Berlin. Among the accusations against Kaduk is the charge that he selected 40 children for burning and made Russian pris oners stand naked in the snow until they died. Christmas trees and card board cherubs still flanked the doors of the Frankfurt city hall, where the defendants were be ing tried in the council cham ber, the only city facility big enough for the trial. The 12 men were charged with participating in the mur der of an estimated 2.5 to 4 mil lion persons mostly Jews dur ing World War II in the camp at Auschwitz, Poland, now known as Oswiecim.
