...camps for the greater glory of Hitler's Nazi Reich. Within three years after V-E day, 91 of them were tried for a deluge of crimes-in some cases up to 1,000 murders apiece -and then were hanged in the courtyard of Lower Saxony's yellow-walled Hameln prison. They were buried on the spot in plain coffins in a common unmarked grave. Most were ex-warders from nightmarish Belsen, including suet-faced ex-Commandant Joseph Kramer, the "Beast of Belsen," and his 21-year-old girl assistant Irma Grese, whose particular hobby consisted of turning...

When war started, Britain imported most of its nitrates, had no synthetic nitrate production; its dyestuffs were so poor that the first khaki uniforms soon turned out purple or a bright target yellow. Britain muddled through with U.S. and South American help. But to make sure it would never happen again, I.C.I, was formed in 1926 by merging the four biggest companies−the British Dyestuffs Corp. for dyes, Brunner, Mond & Co. for nitrates and ammonia soda products, United Alkali Co. for alkalis...
