Ril Germans Not Criminals, |" Pravda Writer Says.’

| ~MOSCOW, April | George Alexandrov, Communist party's press propaganda department, today severely criticized the stand taken by the | Soviet: war correspondent, Ilya | Ehrenbourg, that the whole Ger-! Iman. people. is responsible for the’ | crimes of Nazi leaders. j Writing in the official party or-! gan, Pravda, Alexandrov specifically | rejected the views expressed - by | Ehrenbourg in a recent article published in the Russian .army news-| paper Red Star. Alexandrov's broadside, to which foreign observers attached the highest significance, charged that Ehren’ bourg's article could only lead to. confusion and prevent. exposure of Nazi plans to spread disunity ainong the allies. v ‘Over-Simplification’ In his article, Ehrenbourg made two salient points: That all Germany is’ a “colossal gang” and all Germans are equally guilty of Nazi crimes; and that the Germans are| not really resisting on the Western, i front. : + Ehrenbourg contended that "the Germans are “treating the Arger-+ icans like neutrals” while fighting’ bitterly = against the Russians through fear of vengeance for crimes committed on Soviet soil. Alexandrov said these views represented an over - simplification, | were. entirely miscaken, and were. not representative of Soviet public opinion. He pointed out that the Germans in the past few months have fouglit| with various degrees of determnination, some surrendering veadily and others fighting to the death to defend the ‘Naz regime. i Cites Instances | Alexandrov ciiéd'.-a number of instances where individual Germans
