Hasso von Manteuffel Investigated for War Crime


This picture was taken on 6 February 1968 and it shows Hasso von Manteuffel before the HS-30 investigative committee in the Bonn Federal Palace. He was one of the most decorated generals of World War II. From 1953 to 1957 he was a member of the FDP in the German Bundestag. A Düsseldorf court sentenced him to 18 months in prison in August 1959 because he had a soldier shot on March 1, 1944. He was pardoned after four months in prison and then retired to private life. Hasso von Manteuffel was born on January 14, 1897 in Potsdam and died on September 24, 1978 in Reith (Austria). Photographer: Egon Steiner.
