Oberg, gen. Karl Albrecht. Nazi 'Butcher of Paris' captured.

Oberg, gen. Karl Albrecht. Nazi 'Butcher of Paris' captured. This is SS General Karl Albrecht Oberg, known as the 'Butcher of Paris' because of his activities as Nazi police leader in France. He was captured by U.S. Major Cecil Simmons, a former police officer in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the mountains near Kitzbuhel, Austria, May 26, 1945. Oberg, disguised as a private in the Austrian Army, was recognized by Major Simmons because of his egg-shaped head. The Nazi organized the German office which dealt with the resistance movements in France, and he frequently conferred with Abeth, Doriot and Leval. He blames Stulpnagel, his immediate superior, for the many executions which he carried out in Paris. When captured, his hideout, contained enough food to last him of two years.
