Declaration
I, Richard William Hurlstone Hortin, a Major
in H. M. Army serving with the Control Commission for Germany
(British Element) at Berlin, solemnly and sincerely declare as
follows —
1. I make this Declaration in my capacity of Berlin Secretary of
the International Military Tribunal.
2. Pursuant to the order of the International Military Tribunal
as to publication of Notice No. 1 as to Nazi Organisations, I served
a copy of the said notice on each of the four Allied Secretariats; at
the same time I served on the four Allied Secretariats a copy of the
said order and a copy of the order of the International Military
Tribunal as to Martin Bormann. Service was effected by delivery by me
personally of the said notice and orders to duly authorised persons
of the said Allied Secretariats.
The order as to Martin Bormann states that publication must be
made in four separate issues of a newspaper circulated in the home
city of Martin Bormann. After full enquiries I ascertained that the
last known place of residence of Martin Bormann was Berlin. A former
place of residence was Mecklenburg. It was also believed that the
birthplace was Halberstadt. I gave these details to the Soviet
Secretariat. I also arranged for publication in Berlin newspapers and
on the radio. Newspaper circulation in the Russian Zone normally
extends to both Halberstadt and Mecklenburg.
3. As a result of careful enquiries I ascertained that a
reasonable number of notices for the whole of the four Zones would be
200,000
