HISTORICAL CONTEXT On March 24, 1945, Hitler Youth "Werewolf" bands, armed with explosives and other weapons, successfully assassinated the Lord Mayor of Aachen. The mayor, recently installed by US forces, was the only US appointed official killed by the "Werewolves" during the war. (Source) Aachen also has significance in that it was one of the first areas of the Rhineland occupied by German military forces in 1936. | |
