Dennis DuVall, 81, a member of Veterans for Peace (USA), entered federal prison in Bautzen, Germany, on 23 March to begin a 60-day sentence. He had refused to pay a fine for trespass or criminal damage.
Dennis was one of 18 people who entered Büchel airbase on 15 July 2018 to protest against the presence of US 170-kiloton B61-3 and 50-kiloton B61-4 free-fall hydrogen bombs.
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima had an explosive power of 15 kilotons.
The first US citizen to be jailed in similar protests, John LaForge, was released on 28 February after serving 50 days.
