The core cif the situation we were investigating was. of course. the truth of the charges that members and employees of our military were guilty of applying torture to the accused in order to secure confessions. The four men principally charged with these alleged brutalities were Mr. Perl. Mr. Kirschbaum. Mr. Steiner. and Mr. Thon. at least three of whom were refugees from Hitlerian Germany. It appeared that two of these interrogators had very ample grounds to thoroughly hate the German rdce. For example. there was testimony to the effect that Steiners mother had been killed by the Germans and it also appeared that Perls wife had been confined in a concentration camp for approximately 1V2 years.
