Former SS Captain Otto Hunsche, previously sentenced for a five-year prison term for complicity in the murder of 600 Hungarian Jews, but released pending final court confirmation of the judgment, was reasserted today. This time, he was charged, under an indictment filed by the public prosecutor here yesterday, of the mass murder of Hungarian Jews, along with ex-SS Major Rermann Krumey. Both were principal aides of the late Adolf Eichmann.
