"I was aware of one racking desire to be dead, cold, dead." So wrote Karl Billinger, victim of the sadistic Naxi chiefs, when describing in the London "Sunday Chroniclo”. in November, 1935, the tortures he endured at the hands of thesa monsters.
At that time Billinger's, stóry was discontinued in the "Sunday Chronicle" at the request of the Foreign Office. It was felt it might embitter relations between the two countries.
With the publication of the Covernment Whito Paper revealing the cruelties 'practised in German concentration camps, the "Sunday Chronicle" has completed the amazing and fully documented story which Billinger related after his escape.
