Herbert Kappler: Difference between revisions

Kappler and Priebke were arrest by the Allies for their actions during their rule in Rome. Priebke later escaped from prison and fled with his family to Argentina (until he was located in 1994, and deported to Italy where he died three months after his 100th birthday in 2013). Kappler on the other hand stayed in prison, his wife divorced him and refused to have his children visit him. His only visitor was his old enemy Hugh O'Flaherty. The two started to become friends, where they discussing literature and religion. In 1959, a remorseful Kappler converted to the Catholic church thus ending his atheist beliefs. Hugh O'Flaherty died in 1963. Kappler later married in 1972 to a nurse named Anneliese Kappler.
