15. like Joachim Peiper?

PARIS, July 17 [1976]—Nationwide attention has been focused this week on whether the charred body of a man found in the ruins of a burned‐out house in eastern France was that of a Nazi war criminal.

An anonymous teiepnone caller told the Paris newspaper L'Aurore that it was. The caller said the man had been killed by a group called the Avengers.

But the police in the town of Traves, where the killing took place, did not announce any immediate identification of the man as Joachim Peiper, a 61‐year‐old former colonel in the Waffen SS, or Elite Guard, who served 10 years in prison for his role in the killing of American prisoners in the World War II battle of Ardennes.
