Germany: Former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's grave vandalized with swastikas
Police have no information yet on the identity of the culprit(s) or their motives. Helmut Schmidt would have been 105 years old on Saturday. He led West Germany from 1974 to 1982, when the country was becoming a global economic power. A month ago, in France, two members of a group of 13 people were arrested and indicted for public apology for a crime or misdemeanor. They were suspected of spray-painting swastikas on the ground in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
