Narrative:
The Ju-52, named “Rudolf Windisch”, impacted a mountainside in the French Alps in high winds.
The aircraft operated on a flight from Lisbon, Portugal to Stuttgart, Germany with at least one intermediate stop: Geneva in Switzerland.
Höss was the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz Concentration Camp (from 4 May 1940 to November 1943, and again from 8 May 1944 to 18 January 1945). He tested and implemented means to accelerate Hitler’s order to systematically exterminate the Jewish population of Nazi-occupied Europe, known as the Final Solution. On the initiative of one of his subordinates, Karl Fritzsch, Höss introduced the pesticide Zyklon B to be used in gas chambers,[7][8] where more than a million people were killed
