HERMANN WILHELM GÖRING, et al.,
Defendants.
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
