After the last execution, Seyss Inquart's at 2.57 a.m., two Anieriean soldiers entered the gymnasium carrying Goering's body 011 a stretcher covered with an army blanket. The blanket was removpd revealing the dead Goering in disarrayed black silk pyjama tronsers and palc blue silk pyjama coat. The doctors examined him and then the Ainerican Colonel said: "O.K., take him away." Goering's body was then taken bchind a black cloth screcn where his comrades were already being placcd in rough pinc eoffins. Reuter's correspondent says an unconfirmed report states that the executed Nazi leaders will be buried secretly at sea. The ten who were hanged died bravely. Not one broke down whimpered or made any appeal. Each was given the chance to say a last word and only Rosenherg could find no word exeept a niurmured "neill."
