After a long manhunt Rudolf Höss (right), former commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, was captured by British soldiers in March 1946, and after some severe manhandling interrogated. The early interrogation reports are missing but may turn up over the years. Two are to be found in the Public Record Office in Kew, London, the war crimes investigators’ files: WO.309/374. Höss has evidently been persuaded to finger the Waffen SS and various visiting Nazi ministers – coincidentaly the organisation and ministers on trial for their lives at that time in Nuremberg.
