After the interior committee of the Bavarian state parliament declared a petition against the controversial Jodl cross at the cemetery of the Frauenchiemsee island to be closed, the petitioners turn their hopes on the victorious powers of the Second World War and on the state of Israel. In a letter to the ambassadors of the USA, England, France, Russia and Israel in Berlin, the Jewish couple from northern Germany asked the respective governments to influence the German government in the dispute over the memorial stone for the war criminal Alfred Jodl. In the opinion of the Bavarian state parliament members, however, the memorial cross is first and foremost a communal problem of the Chiemsee municipality, which is working on a solution. Part of it is a stone plate that has been covering the name and rank of the Nazi general Jodl for some time, so that the large cross no longer reminds of him. On the smaller stones at the grave only the names of Jodl’s two wives, his brother and his sister-in-law can be read. Alfred Jodl is not buried on the Fraueninsel in the Chiemsee. After he was convicted and executed as a war criminal, his ashes were scattered in the Isar.
