A man with a shady past as a member of the Waffen SS. This ship will be 352 meters long and 124 meters wide! source That's a big target for a torpedo, I'd say. BTW, Allseas was customer of a company I used to work for. I've been on board of their MV Lorelay several times. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted December 1, 2014 On the subject of Alois Brunner; with US involvement in the Middle East at a higher level than ever, could regime change in Syria, enforced by outside forces or otherwise, lead to further light being shed on his fate? I doubt very much that he is still alive, but it could be a nice side-effect of US intervention if he is brought to justice. No DNA, but they seem to be sure he died 4 years ago. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30275358 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 1, 2014 Do we have any idea at all on how many Nazis[1] are known[2] to still be alive? 1. I am guessing there are lots of people in their late 80s and early 90s who were party members, either because they were forced to become so or out of fear or peer pressure or misguided beliefs. So how many senior echlon Nazis, people in jail for crimes and people governments are trying to extradite for crimes are left? There can't be that many. 2. As opposed to missing, fate unknown.

So how many senior echlon Nazis, people in jail for crimes and people governments are trying to extradite for crimes are left? There can't be that many. 2. As opposed to missing, fate unknown. To answer my own question, some bloke from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre thought, in 2013, that “There are at least hundreds if not thousands of them out there." http://news.discover...left-130620.htm "'You have to take into account that at least many tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of men (and some women) were participants in these crimes at a relatively young age. And thanks to the progress of modern medicine, many live today to age 90 and above,' Zuroff said. He adds that 'people without a conscience live longer. Less stress.'" http://www.dailymail...ter-expert.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming these Nazis had any involvement in the death camps, I guessing our care homes under another five years of Cameron would make them feel right at home!
