Kappler in West Germany after hospital disappearance
Convicted Nazi war criminal Herbert Kappler, who vanished from a Rome military hospital over the weekend, has apparently returned to West Germany. A government spokesman cited a call from Kappler’s wife indicating he is in the country, but his exact location remains unknown. Police offered no details of the escape, though radio reports suggested two women visited him at the hospital and may have helped his departure.
