The Stuttgart prosecutor’s office has closed the case of the Sant’Anna di Stazzema massacre, carried out during World War II by the Waffen SS. This despite the testimony of Ludwig Göring, who voluntarily admitted to emptying an entire cartridge belt into a group of 25 women gathered in a circle in the farmyard. They then piled up the bodies and doused them with gasoline, setting them alight. In Italy, however, 10 convictions were handed down, which were upheld on appeal and in cassation.
