*Three weeks ago a congressional committee, set up to review the case of Use ("Bitch of Buchenwald") Koch, whose life sentence had been reduced to four years, concluded that the U.S. prosecution had bungled. Use could have been given a life term for any one of several proved crimes; instead, she was tried and convicted on the shaky charge of participating in the management of Buchenwald. "Our soldiers," said the committee, "are not lawyers." Use will be free next September, but a German court will then almost certainly try her for crimes against German nationals.
