Nazi of SS

The biggest ship ever to sail the seas, currently under construction, will be named after Pieter Schelte Heerema. A man with a shady past as a member of the Waffen SS. This ship will be 352 meters long and 124 meters wide!

That's a big target for a torpedo, I'd say. :shoot:

 

BTW, Allseas was customer of a company I used to work for. I've been on board of their MV Lorelay several times.

Hein

There's a teutonic toe tapper of genuine original Nazi songs as the free download on Mr Weird and Wacky today, just thought I'd, like, share the love.

I'll have to Brenner Pass on that one I'm afraid. I am however planning a German DDP theme team for next year I'm sure I hope it will meet with your approval.

It won't do :angry: Look at my theme team: Only 2 hits so far and no f**king UK orbit.

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.

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.

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.'"

It seems the Wiesenthal Centre also put out an annual report, listing the status of their top 10 most wanted: http://www.wiesenthal.com/atf/cf/{54d385e6-f1b9-4e9f-8e94-890c3e6dd277}/NAZI-WAR-CRIMINALS-REPORT_2013.PDF

 

That one's from April 2013. How many of them on the list are still alive?

Former SS commander Michael Karkoc found to be living in Minnesota

US downgraded for failing to prosecute him by Wiesenthal Centre. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3037196/Annual-Nazi-hunting-report-downgrades-US-credits-Germany.html

 

 

 

Mind, it'd be ironic if any missing Nazis are in the UK and they end up living in a care home, and then the Tories win on 7 May.

 

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!

The trial of Oskar Groening, an accountant at Auschwitz begins:

 

http://uk.businessinsider.com/ss-accountant-of-auschwitz-going-on-trial-in-germany-2015-4

 

Aged 93, he is part of an 11th-hour effort to convict lower-ranked personnel for being "cogs in the machine". It's a legal consequence of the John Demanjuk trial who was convicted of his involvement in the Holocaust and appealed the verdict, only to die before it could be heard.

Today's day in court was cancelled because of the "bad state of health" of Mr. Groening:
