None
A German newspaper says that former Nazi SS officer Erich Steidtmann, suspected but never convicted of involvement in World War II massacres, has died at age 95.
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported Wednesday that Steidtmann died Sunday from a heart attack at his home in Hannover. Steidtmann was a captain in the Nazi's elite SS force who led several battalions which allegedly carried out the mass murder of Jews, and he was long sought by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. (AP)
