tribunal Told How Yank POV's 7ere i Used For Target Practice By Nazis Br DANIEL DE LUCE I NUERNBERG, Jan. 31 A German officer usea a group of unarmed American prisoners of war for target practice as a prelude to the cold-blooded exe cution of 129 captured soldiers during the battle of the bulge last winter, the international military tribunal was told today. The French prosecution intro duced a statement by Belgian civilians describing the massa ere, which occurred at a cross roads near saint van on uec. 12, 1944. J The he Americans, defending the crossroads against a nazi often aive, took to the ditches as Ger man tanks approached, the state ment said, and the tanks fired into the ditches until the Amer icans threw down their guns and raised their hands in surrender. Led To Field They were led to a field a short distance away, where the Ger mans searched each man, tak . ing watches, rings and other per sonal effects, the soldier's state ment continued. Then a German armored vehi cle was rolled up and its guns trained on the group of prison ers. A nazi officer mounted on the vehicle drew his pistol, aimed at the group and fired. One of the prisoners fell, the statement said. He aimed and fired again. An other American fell. As the second man went down, the statement went on, the ma chine guns on the armored vehi cle opened up and sprayed lead for two or three minutes. The vehicle moved on and three others rolled past, machine gun ning the knot of men, most of mem already dead. . Later, German, soldiers walked among the Americans, finishing off the wounded, the statement laid. "The soldiers struck them with gun butts or fired from a short distance into their temples or between their eyes," the docu ment asserted. "The shame of this deed will remain upon the German army," it said. "We knew these men were unarmed and had surrendered."
