Death Revealed. Erich von dem Bach-Zelewsky, 73, the Nazi SS general responsible for crushing the Polish resistance; of heart disease; in Munich on March 8. A close aide to Adolf Hitler, Bach-Zelewsky rose to the wartime command of the German forces combatting resistance movements in Eastern Europe.
