Second Eichmann. Now jailed in Brasilia, Stangl, 58, will probably be shipped back to his native Austria. West Germany, as well, wants him to stand trial. He is charged with killing 30,000 infirm and mentally defective Germans and Austrians early in the war at Hartheim Palace, near Linz, which was used as a "training center" to prepare SS men for work in concentration camps.
