Ex-Nazi Admits War Crimes in Minsk Massacres
Eberhard Baron Von Toll, a former SS officer and descendant of Prussian nobility, confessed at a Coblenz trial to taking part in three mass shootings of Jews in the Minsk area during World War II. He described a plan for burning bodies and expressed initial revulsion at Nazi policies. The court heard evidence about the killings of tens of thousands, including Jews and Gypsies, as prosecutors pursued murder charges.
