    A bit of a stretch.
    "One of the chief architects of the Nazi Holocaust of six million Jews during WW2 is himself buried in a Jewish graveyard in Berlin, an historian claimed today.
    Heinrich Mueller, the head of the feared Gestapo secret police who played a key role in the round-up and transportation of Europe’s Jews to death camps in occupied Poland, is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Berlin Mitte, according to history professor Johanne Tuchel.
    'Gestapo Mueller', who was one of the participants at the Wannsee Conference of January 1942 in which the extermination programme for the Jews was set in motion, was rumoured to have escaped to South America after the war.
    His body was never found.
    Tuchel, who heads the Berlin Memorial to German Resistance foundation, claims he died in the fierce fighting that engulfed Berlin at the end of the war in 1945.
    'His body was thrown into a mass grave at the Jewish Cemetery in Berlin Mitte in August 1945,' he said.
    Professor Tuchel said he discovered the information in paperwork in 'various archives' even though western intelligence agencies for years suspected he had survived.
    In 1949, there was a sighting of him at the Czech town of Karlovy Vary, formerly the German spa resort of Karlsbad."
