Bones Of Hitler Deputy Exhumed, Burned And Tossed

Rudolf Hess, a deputy Nazi party leader under Adolf Hitler had his body exhumed under cover of darkness, burned, and secretly scattered at sea this week. It seems that Hess is a martyr for the far right and thousands of neo-Nazis have used the anniversary of his death as an occasion to hold large rallies. Workers crept in before dawn on Wednesday, which would have been the 67th anniversary of a failed assassination attempt on Hitler,  to remove Hess' remains. The grave now sits empty.Hess hanged himself with an electrical cord in 1987 at the age of 93 in prison.
