By WEB GALIiftQHER
NUEHNBElia, Doc. 17 P)
American pruiccutorii today
called on tho Intcriiotloiinl mili
tary trlbunnl to convict as war
criminal! 600,000 members of
nnzl leadership corps described
i "tho brain, backbone and di
recting arm of the nail party,"
Opening of a new phuso of the
war crlmua trial of 21 top Hitler
ite louden, the prosecution
charged that thounundi of mom
burs of Mich once-powerful or-
fiinlzntlons an leadership corpi,
he elito guard (SS) tho itorm
troops (SA), the rolch cabinet,
tho godlapo and tho Oernuin
high coinmund should ulio be do
clurod guilty ai war criminals,
Jnlla of the allied powers In
occupied Cormany are filled
with thousand of inch minor
nniln,
If the six Indicted German or-
Snnlzotlons are convicted of
dug criminal groups, these
mombors will automatically bo
guilty of war crimes to varying
degrees, American prosecutors
declared.
New Phase
Col, Robert G. Storey, assist
ant U. S. prosecutor, opened the
new phase of the trial by produc
ing records showing that tho
nuzl leadership corps had ap
proximately 000,000 active func
tionaries, ranging from Hitler's
immecllnte aides to minor block
leaders whose duty, the prosecu
tor clmrgod, was to spy on the
. papulation."
Col. Storey declared that the
estimated figure of 600,000 for
the membership of the nnzl lead
ership corps was a "limited
few, asserting that numorous
minor staff officers would bring
the total to aproxlmatoly 2,000,
000. tlowover, conviction of the
subordinate staff officers Is not
being sought by the prosecution,
becuusa "their participation In
and responsibility for the con
spiracy were measurably less ex
tensive than those of staff offi
cers and office holders on higher
levels of tho leadership corps."
Col. Storey listed the member
ship In the various categories of
tho leadership corps as follows;
41 Gauleiters (district leaders);
80S Krleslcltcrs (county leaders):
28,370 Ortagruppenlelters (local
firoup leaders); 89,378 Zellen
eiters (cell leaders) and 403.048
block leaders, each supervising
approximately 60 houses.
The prosecutor charged that
the relch cabinet by its decree of
July 3, 1034, legalizing the
party's blood purge "moved to
make Itself accessories after the
fact of these murders."
Earlier, the prosecution dis
posed the systematic plana for
the stripping of food from Rus
sia that would have wiped out
the populations of Moscow and
Stalingrad If these cities . had
been conquered.
Captured Plans
Reading from captured Ger
man plans for the conquer of
Russia, the prosecution named
Hermann ' Goerlna. slttlner un
comfortably In the prisoners box,
as the Instlgulor of a calculated
starvation piun that would have
cuust-d tho dcuths of "many tans
of millions" of Russians.
"The document reveals a pro
gram of muss murder to stagger
tho Imagination," one U. S. pros
ecutor told the four-power trib
unal'. Tho plan, druftod by Gocrlng's
economic ministry in 194 1,
culled for export to Germany of
ovory ounce of food In tho
Ukraine and other arcus. In tho
food-deficient north, tho army
was to seize all food for Its own
uso.
Another defendant, Alfred Ro
senberg, administrator of tho
conquered Ukraine, was quoted
as saying In a speech In 1041.
that ''tho lob of feeding the Gor
man peoplo falls In the east, , , .
We see no reason for feeding the
Russian, peoplo of that area,"
Also 'Introduced as evidence
was a Rosenborg decree ordering
his subordinates to disregard
Hague convention rules for treat
ment of captured peoples be
cause, he said, the rules "are not
applicable to the Soviet Union."
