By BILL LONG Stars and Stripes Special Writer CTUTTGART, Feb. 26—An American military court ^ conducting the Borkum Island "Death March" trial will reconvene tomorrow in Ludwigsburg after a week-long recess. The defendants are charged with forcing seven American airmen, who had crash-landed on Borkum Island Aug. 4, 1944, to make an eight-mile death march, during which they were kicked, beaten and finally shot through the Backs of their heads. Borkum Island is located in the North Sea, northwest of Wil- helmshaven. DEFENSE COUNSEL WILL RESUME CASE The defense counsel is expected to resume its case in behalf of the former commander of the island, two Wehrmacht officers, two navy officers, five German enlisted men and five civilians. Members of the defense counsel and the prosecution are attached to the War Crimes Board, trial section. The deiense counsel is composed of, left to right, Capt.

The propaganda minister had made a statement that was passed throughout the Reich by word of mouth that troops were to make an attempt to protect prisoners from violence by civilians. GUARDS ACCUSED OF BRUTALITY The prosecution, foreseeing such a move, introduced evidence to show that the death march route was deliberately planned through the island and the city of Borkum, insuring maximum exposure to violence; that the march did not start until Capt. Goebell, local military commander, had notified Mayor Akkermann, the police chief and other city officials by phone of the route taken and invited them to "be tough." Eye-witness testimony was introduced to show that members of the guard constantly beat and kicked the fliers throughout the march, and that officers of the guard sharply reprimanded several of the guards who purportedly were "not tough enough." —Signal Corps Photos Members of the prosecution staff at the Borkum Island trial in Below are the defendants in the Borkum Island "Death Judges hearing testimony are, left to right, Lt.
