Terrible sight, dead men. But this, i am afraid, is acctually not a terrible sight at all. Not that it is not disgusting. Just good to know that the terrible man is off the out of the world.

DEATH BY CYANIDE:

Later buried in an unmarked grave in Northen Germany. Did you know all official records of Himmer's death are to remain secret until the year 2045!
Why all the secrecy about the Third Reich,to this day the US, Russia, Britain and France along with other countries in Europe have documents, reports and files still locked away in their Government archives.
