A man wearing sunglasses gives the Nazi salute in the name of the Wehrmacht (German armed forces of World War II) at the graveside in Soltau, Germany, of Herbert Kappler. An S.S. lieutenant-colonel, Kappler was convicted in 1947 of supervising a reprisal massacre in Germanoccupied Rome in 1943. At right is Kappler’s widow, Anneliese, who smuggled her cancerstricken husband six months ago from a hospital in Rome, where he had been imprisoned. West Germany refused to send him back to Italy, and he lived out his last months in Soltau, the village of his birth.
