HANS ZIEGLER. GESTAPO CHIEF WW II. he was arrested after the war for his act in which he ordered killing of two British pilots who tried to escape.. Stalag luft III the scene Of movie great escape. It was done to Instill fear among others.
he was interned at Kensington palace also called the cage. it was the centre for British dreaded intelligence service for investigation and torture. .Ziegler 49 years committed suicide reportedly on 23 dec 1948 as per the certificate of death issued . the historians allege that the victim was inhumanly tortured overlooking all regulations and the names of the victims were not revealed too.since seventy years many skeletons are bound to fall from the cupboard that would tarnish image of the British intelligence service and the UK that claims that it fought a clean war.if a fair game was played probably they would have been let off or given much lesser sentence.
