Josef Kieffer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SS Sturmbannführer Hans Josef Kieffer was the senior German intelligence officer in Paris during the German occupation of France in World War Two. During his cross-examination after the war by Vera Atkins from SOE, he began to cry at his interrogator's description of the death of Noor Inayat Khan at Dachau concentration camp.[1] Atkins replied "Kieffer, if one of us is going to cry it is going to be me. You will please stop this comedy.".
