...goods, rape their women, decapitate them in the cities, the villages and the deserts." He died in a military sting operation. DIED. GERHARD WESSEL, 88, former official in Hitler's anti-Soviet spy operation and head of the West German intelligence agency, the Bundesnachrichtendienst, between 1968 and 1978; in Pullach, Germany.
