Hitlers last soldier surrenders after 40 years in US
Georg Gaertner once feared every stranger was an FBI agent. He escaped from Camp Dering in 1945 and lived as a fugitive for four decades under the alias Dennis Whiles. He surrendered in San Pedro and may be allowed to stay in the United States with potential citizenship. He wrote a book to accompany his surrender.
