Bishop Defregger Identified as Nazi Order Giver

The Munich auxiliary bishop Matthias Defregger was named as captain of a German army unit in Italy who ordered 17 unarmed Italian villagers shot in 1944. Prosecutors noted he did not deny giving the order but said he did not carry it out himself. The killings were classified as manslaughter due to lack of premeditation.
