Two men “presumed to be Israeli agents” were arrested in Munich, Germany, last night as they tried to enter an apartment belonging to the wife of Heinrich Muller, the former chief of Hitler’s Gestapo, according to a report in the Sunday Times today. Munich police, the dispatch from Germany stated, declined to give the names of the men or to reveal the reason for the effort by the men to see Mrs. Mueller.
Mueller, who was Adolf Eichmann’s superior, disappeared in 1945. He has frequently been reported dead, but final proof of his alleged demise has never been obtained by either the Germans or by Jewish “Nazi hunters.”
