Stalin’s Son Was Apparent Suicide,
Returning German POW Reveals
CAMP FRIEDLAND, Germany,
(if)—Stalin’s son Jacob was shot to
death in a Nazi concentration
camp in 1945 after he flung him
self on an electrified barbed-wire
fence, a returning German war
prisoner said Saturday.
The story was brought back by
Maj. Walter Reuschle, prewar di
rector of radio Stuttgart. He said
he interviewed Stalin’s son, also
known as Jacob Djugashvili, in
1941 after the latter was captured
on the eastern front.
He said he got the details from
the commandant of Oranienburg
concentration camp near Berlin,
where Jacob was a prisoner of
war.
“Stalin’s son suddenly made a
dash for .the high-voltage fence
and flung himself on it,” Reuschle
said he was told.
“When SS guards shouted at
him to get away from the fence,”
he said, “the Russian refused.
“Then they shot him.”
Reuschle said Stalin’s son ap
parently decided to commit sui
cide when he heard the Red army
was approaching Berlin, “because
he was afraid the Russians would
kill him for getting captured.”
Reuschle said he was told Jacob
was given two rooms to himself in
the officers’ barracks in the con
centration camp. “Apparently Hit
ler issued special orders he be
given preferential treatment,”
Reuschle said.
The German arrived here Fri
day with 39 other war prisoners
from Russia.
Reuschle, who served in an
army propaganda company, was
captured by the Americans, then
turned over to the Russians.
“The Russians told me they did
not believe I was a criminal,” he
said, “but that they merely want
ed to know what Stalin’s son said
and what I had told the Ameri
cans about the interview.”
He said he was convicted in the
Soviet Union in 1947 of “having
knowledge of dangerous secrets”
and was sentenced to 25 years in
prison.
