Anton Dostler of the German Army was executed by a 12-man American firing squad today for the murder without trial of 15 American O. S. 8. menDostler. 54. was the first German general tried and convicted by the western allies as a wa* criminal. He died in th- No. 1 stockade here iii a stolid and soldierly manner befitting the Prussian tradition. The general was convicted of murder for authorizing the execution of the 15 Americans caught behind the German lines in northern Italy during March. 1944. The Americans were members of the office of strategic service* ingaged on a secret expedition to blow up both end* of a railroad tunnel near Genoa When caught, they were wearing American uniforms without Insignia. Dostkr admitted ordering their death, but claltaed that he was acting on orders from Adolf Hitler. Hls conviction was considered the first important legal precedent that orders from Hitler were nos sufficient defense for murder. Defendants in the Nuernberg trial are expected to use the same type of defense, claiming non-res-ponsibiiity for their actions. ——o Trade in a Good Town — Docatut
