Accused War Criminal Returned to Bonn

Accused Nazi criminal Josef Franz Leo Schwammberger, 78, arrived today from Argentina and was taken to a maximum security prison to await trial on charges that he murdered and tortured Jews at death camps with his own hands.

“The arm of the law is long,” said West German Justice Minister Hans Engelhard of Schwammberger, who he said was removed from Argentina after “one of the most difficult and longest proceedings . . . for the extradition of an alleged National-Socialist criminal.”
