London: Adolf Hitler's
deputy Hermann Goering exhumed the body of his wife, who was
buried in Sweden, and reburied her at a massive hunting lodge
outside Berlin called "Carinhall" in her memory, forensic experts
have found.
Scientists identified the remains of a woman found buried at the
estate as those of Goering's wife Carin, the Daily Mail reported.
Carin Fock, born in Sweden, died aged 42 in 1931 and was buried in
her homeland.
But as Goering rose through the Nazi ranks, he had her body
exhumed and transported to Berlin.
Later, in 1945 Goering ordered his vast art collection to be
transported to safety and had the place blown up with dynamite.
Since then, it has a been an attraction for amateur treasure
hunters who pore over the ruins convinced they will find missing
masterpieces in the rubble.
In 1991, a chest was found containing human remains which was sent
to Sweden's National Board of Forensic Medicine for
identification.
An expert Marie Allen, and Anna Kjellstrom at the Stockholm
University osteo-archaeological research laboratory, have now
determined whose bones they were.
A comparison of mitochondrial DNA showed identical DNA sequences
between the skeleton and Carin Goering's son, indicating a
mother-child relationship.
They also studied nuclear DNA that showed a mother-son
relationship.
The results, together with historical data, proved that the
remains were of Carin Goering.
After the tests, the remains were reburied in Sweden with family
members present.
Goering, who founded the Gestapo secret police, was a prime
architect of the Nazi Holocaust. He was sentenced to death at the
Nuremberg War Crimes Trials.
