Capturing a Gestapo General By Sgt Saul Levitt
Major General Anton Dunckern, Metz Gestapo chief and police president, surrendered to Company E of the 10th Regiment during the Metz defense. The article details his HQ at a chateau on Rue Aux Ours, his manipulation of labor via a card system, and his use of the town’s defenses as American forces closed in. It portrays him as ruthless, politically connected, and determined to organize labor while indulging in wine and women.
