Commandant
To Face Trial
LONDON (JTA)— When the
Brazilian government agreed to
extradite former Nazi SS Major
Franz Paul Stangl to West Ger
many for trial as a war crim
inal, it made the unusual con
dition that the maximum sen
tence imposed on him if con
victed should not be more than
15 years. Stangl, who was com
mandant of the notorious Tre
blinka concentration camp in
Poland during World War II,
goes on trial in Dusseldorf next
month. He will subsequently face
trial in Austria, the country
where he was born. Acc».. ding to
Anthony Terry, correspondent
for the Sunday Times who made
the disclosure, West German
authorities agreed to the Bra
zilian conditions and promised
to reduce any sentence higher
than 15 years pronounced on
Stangl. They also agreed to
Brazil’s demand that ,the charges
against him be limited to the al
leged murders of 400,000 Jewish
prisoners at Treblinka because
Brazil’s statute of limitations
does nott permit him to be tried
for earlier offenses.
V Stangl, now 62, was the object
of an 18-year search. He went
to* Brazil in 1948 from Syria
after evading arrest by U. S.
authorities in Europe. His steps
were traced with the help of
Simon Wiesenthal, director of
the Nazi war criminal archives
in Vienna. He was spotted work
ing at the Volkswagen plant in
Sao Paulo, Brazil and elaborate
precautions were taken to pre
vent him from learning that he
was under surveillance while
the extradition machinery was
put into motion, Mr. Terry re
ported. He said that the late
Senator Robert F. Kennedy,
then U. S. Attorney General,
wrote his opposite number in
Brazil to make it clear that “op
eration Stangl” had top level
backing in Washington. Stangl
has pleaded not guilty to all
charges against him. He will be
confronted at his trial by 17
survivors of Treblinka. They are
the remains of a group of pris
oners who escaped from the
deatji camp during a mutiny of
inmates in 1943.
