Jürgen Voss (d. 1946) was a German veteran of World War II, serving as part of the conquest of France in 1940, and then on the Eastern Front until he was injured in 1943. After Germany was defeated, he joined the German Freedom Front. In 1946, Voss, disguised as an American named Paul Higgins, detonated a truck-bomb (and himself) under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, toppling the tower into the Seine River. Vöss was particularly lauded by the German Freedom Front because he was an ordinary corporal, not unlike Adolf Hitler, except that Hitler did even more damage.
