Karl Muenter, a former SS soldier who was convicted in France of a wartime massacre but who never served any time for his crimes, has died in northwestern Germany. He was 96.
Marcus Tischbier, a representative of the district mayor's office in Nordstemmen, the village where Muenter lived, confirmed Monday that he died on Friday. He had no further details.
He was convicted in absentia of war crimes and sentenced to death by a French court after the war, along with other participants in the massacre. In a strange twist, prosecutors in Hildesheim charged Muenter earlier this year with incitement after he appeared on a television documentary in which he defended the shooting of the prisoners in Ascq and disputed the Nazi Holocaust.
