Tried under the general charge of “violations of the laws and usages of war,” the defendants were specifically accused of “acting in pur suance of a common design to subject camp inmates, including unarmed prisoners of war, to killings, beatings, torture, starvation, abuses and indig nities.” The charge was limited to the period of war between the United States and Germany, January 1, 1942, to May 5, 1945.
