An attempt to bring to light the complete story of Otto Moll, described as “the greatest murderer in all history,” has been made by British war crimes prosecutor Major Draper, the London Daily Express reports from Hamburg today.
Mall, condemned for the murder of one Jewish boy, is now awaiting death in the Landsberg fortress in the American zone. As an S.S. leader, Moll was in charge of the crematoriums at the Birkenau and Oswiecim death camps. Major Draper asked the American commandant at Landsberg to permit him to interrogate Moll before he dies. “The world should know the extent of this man’s fantastic crimes,” Major Draper said.
