Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 9,092 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Riedweg himself spent most of the war in Germany. He was taken prisoner by the Americans on 3 May 1945.[1] He was released after making false statements, but rearrested by the British, and was interned until 1948. In December 1947, Riedweg was sentenced in absentia by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court to 16 years in prison for treason, albeit the government never sought his extradition, partly due to the influence of certain Swiss politicians and civil servants, such as Heinrich Walther. Riedwig later became active in HIAG, a lobbyist group for Waffen-SS veterans.[1]
