German Major's Widow Fights Hitler's Justice
In a long pursuit for exoneration, Liese Scheller seeks to reverse a Nazi court martial verdict that executed her husband Major Hans Scheller for alleged cowardice after a failed bridge demolition at Remagen on March 7 1945. A new inquiry in 1951 and a December hearing probe whether the order to blow the Ladendorff Bridge was delayed to preserve German retreat. The case centers on who bore responsibility for the failed detonation and the fate of Scheller and aims to clear his name for pension eligibility.
