Karl Hass, 92, died this week
a day after Hitler's birthday.
he killed 335 Italians in WWII
convicted in 1998

he was a good...
he lived a good...
he lived 60 years
longer than his 335 victims

may he rest...
may God have mercy...

away from the bloody ground

pin to your narrow
point - stiff back
yet still I me
