The Good Boy and the 'Kill Team'
Six years after the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, American soldiers are
once again being held accountable for alleged war crimes in court. The
"kill team" is accused of killing civilians for pure fun and of
degrading their victims by taking trophy photos.

On the Trail of Holocaust Organizer Adolf Eichmann
Adolf Eichmann was the chief organizer behind the Nazi mass murder of
Europe's Jews. Following the end of the war, he found refuge in a
village in northern Germany before ultimately escaping to Argentina.
Documents unknown until now show that he could have been captured
earlier than he was -- if West Germany had been interested.

Voluntary Gender Quotas 'Only Half the Battle'
Germany's largest firms agreed on Wednesday to increase the tiny
proportion of women in top business jobs in the country. But their
promise was not enough for those who want legally mandated quotas.
German commentators are divided over which approach is best.

How Safe Is Safe in Japan?
Japanese nuclear watchdogs have now joined the chorus of international
experts calling for the evacuation zone surrounding the stricken nuclear
power plants in northeastern Japan to be expanded -- but the government
is refusing to budge. Meanwhile the EU debates what sorts of food to
ban.

German Photos Capture Pre-Castro Tourism
Legendary German photographer Heinrich Heidersberger worked on a cruise
ship, the MS Atlantic, in 1954. He took thousands of pictures of
Americans sailing from New York to Havana -- something Americans haven't
been allowed to do for almost 50 years. The pictures are now on display
in Hamburg.

Scrapped Euro Coin Scam Costs Bundesbank Millions
German prosecutors have uncovered a 6 million euro scam involving
reconstituted euro coins that had been sold to China as scrap metal. One
and two euro coins were then brought back to Germany, some via Lufthansa
airline employees, and traded in at the central bank.
