What's even more astonishing is that DNA actually filed the story 24 hours after the hoax was revealed. And The Telegraph, which ought to know better, still insists it learned of the story from "sources in the Intelligence Bureau" and not from the totally bogus press release put out by penpricks, as if that makes their error of judgment any more excusable. Read their follow-up:
IB sources had yesterday confirmed that they had heard of such a joint operation but could not give enough details. The questions for which no answers were forthcoming were the name of the German intelligence officer who led the operation, the piano’s details and the name and exact location of the concentration camp in which Bach had allegedly overseen the genocide.How pathetic!
The IB officials today acknowledged that it was too short a time to get such details, but did say that the story that was covered in several dailies was similar to the inputs put out by the IB.

I expected some kind of mild apology from the involved parties..not surprisingly, they have proved that they don't have the bare minimum honesty to come forward and accept the mistake..I wonder whether I can trust any of their so called news coverage here after.
