Manfred Rommel, son of WWII military leader, dies at 84
A popular mayor [of Stuttgart], Mr. Rommel made bold and sometimes controversial decisions. He drew criticism for allowing German Red Army Faction terrorists Gudrun Ensslin, Andreas Baader and Jan-Carl Raspe to be buried together in Stuttgart after their collective suicide in the Stammheim prison.
I am of the opinion that all wrath, justified as it may be, must end with death and that there are no first- and second-class graveyards and that all graveyards are the same, he said at the time.
A very interesting quote from a very interesting man. Excellent obit at WaPo. |
