Away Game: The Butcher of Hanover Fritz Haarmann

Published: Jan. 31, 2022, 8 a.m.

Episode 205: In this Away Game we are off to post World War One Germany where in the early 1920s, a brutal serial killer, Fritz Haarmann, killed at least 27 young men and boys. Many of his crimes, it appears, were committed to impress his lover, a man named Hans Grans. Although Haarmann admitted it was he who murdered and dismembered the victims, he claimed that ultimately, in a few cases, it was Grans who chose who was to die.Sources:\n\nWeimar Republic - HISTORY\n\nList of German serial killers - Wikipedia\n\nAuthor & Radio Host | Alan R.
