The Confessions of Bruno Lüdke | Germany

When the body of 51-year-old Frieda Rösner was discovered in the woods behind a hospital in Köpenick, Berlin in 1943, police arrested a local man, Bruno Lüdke.

However, many people believe he was coerced into falsely confessing to the murders. Was justice served?
