Its page on Herta Bothe was copied from an old version of her Wiki that had the 2000 death date up, and therefore isn't reliable at all. We now know that death date is questionable given that she appeared in a documentary that was aired in about 2004/5. What remains unclear is when the interview with her was filmed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,325 Posted May 21, 2018 While we are at it, here's an interesting article that has just been published on the history of Australia's one and only Nazi war crimes trial from back in the 1990s: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-20/nazi-war-criminals-in-australia-and-the-case-of-polyukhovich/9756454 "One of his lawyers, Lindy Powell believes that despite the inevitable disappointment felt by investigators at his acquittal, justice was done. "People have this notion that courts are about finding truth," she said. "I am always very wary of thinking about it that way because I don't think that's what the justice system is about."" "Aarons said while he believes there are no longer any Nazi war crimes suspects still alive in Australia, he said there may well be others who committed later atrocities, such as in the Balkans, under Pinochet or during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. "There are a huge number of leads that our investigators could be chasing if the political will was there to give them the resources and legal framework in which to operate," he said."

Well - unlike Hitler he has living descendants who've continued using the name. Couldn't we - like - get one of them on the case of the terrible state of our railways? Seriously; the ever reliable Sun newspaper pointed out yesterday that the Lewes (Sussex) to London journey was actually a little faster in 1912 than it is today.

That's afore all his RAF War Crimes. * as he was alive and in Power when my parents were married, he counts in my book. ** MP for Dundee for over a decade.

What about Michael Karkoc? I don't know about Karkoc... First I thought the difference was that Palij was convicted and Karkoc was not, but it seems they both never were convicted. Looking at Karkoc's Wikipedia page, it doesn't seem to be entirely clear that Karkoc is really the Nazi criminal that others suspect him to be. His son rejects the claim, but then he would, I guess... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Karkoc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
