It is suggested that Germany’s reason for rejection of the family’s request was that an examination by Dutch criminal anatomists might confirm the suspicion that drugs were administered to induce apathy; and, further, that Germany was anxious to avoid, antiGerman demonstrations, which inevitably would attend a funeral in Holland.
