Hard Labor For
Von Papen
•
NUERNBERG, opt—Franz von
Papen, ace of Adolph Hitler’s dip
lomatic corps was sentenced by a
German denazification court today
to serve eight years at hard labor.
Sentence was imposed by the
seven-man court after it had found
the former Reichchancellor and
ambassador guilty as a “major of
fender” who helped Hitler to
power and stayed with the Nazi
regime to the end.
The court also ordered Von Pa
pen's personal fortune confiscated.
Von Papen was acquitted of way
crimes charges only last Octobe”
by the international military tri
bunal which sentenced Hermann
Goering and 10 other Nazi leaders
to death following a hi>tory-m ik
in:t trial here.
The one-time Nazi diplomat now
is 68 and has hardening of the ar
teries. The court’s sentence was re
garded as tantamount to a life
term.
Von Papon’s confiscated proper
ty includes centuries-old estates in
both the French and British zones
of Germany. Von Papen was bar
red from entering both zones after
his acquittal at the war-crimes
trial and was forced to remain in
the U. S. zone.
At the denazification trial, he
protested that he had been moti
vated by a desire not to help Hit
ler, but to help Germany.
Von Papen said that he had op
posed the union of Austria with
Germany when he was ambassa
dor to Austria and had worked for
peace as ambassador to Turkey.
The court however, ruled that
his possession of a gold Nazi party
badge, however honorary, and
lack of evidence of any break with
Hitler were enough to justify his
conviction.
