Wolf-Dietrich Wolff on trial for war crimes, Frankfurt

Oct. 10, 1970 - Men On Trial for assisting in murder of 115: During proceedings which had started at a jury court in Frankfurt, Germany, dreadful details of a Nazi concentration camp crime became known. According to them, 115 camp prisoners were murdered, because the Research Institute-Ancestor Heritage of SS-leader Heinrich Himmler needed their skeletons for research. The Ancestor Heritage dealt with researches of the Teutonics. In these proceedings are accused of aiding the murders: commercial clerk Wolf-Dietrich Wolff, Hanover (57), merchant Bruno Beger, Frankfurt (79) and assistant professor Hans Fleischhacker, Frankfurt (58). Beger and Fleischhacker are charged with selecting the 115 prisoners, mostly Jews, at the concentration camp Auschwitz for the Ancestor Heritage, who were then murdered at the concentration camp Natzweiler, Alsace. Their bodies were sent to the skeleton collection of the former Reichs-University, Strasbourg. Photo shows Wolf-Dietrich Wolff
