Life After The War
On April 16, 1945, Reche was arrested by American forces for membership in the Nazi Party. He was released after sixteen months of detainment.
In 1959, Reche was chosen by a German court investigating the claims of Anna Anderson that she was Anastasia Nikolaevna, a Russian royal thought to have been murdered along with the rest of the royal family. He concluded that Anna Anderson was either the Grand Duchess herself or an identical twin. After Anderson's death, however, it was concluded based on DNA evidence that she was not Anastasia. (See Anna Anderson#DNA tests)
Reche died near Hamburg in 1966.

Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.”
