BERLIN — German prosecutors have opened a formal preliminary investigation of a Minnesota man who was a commander of a Nazi-led unit during World War II, to determine whether there is enough evidence to bring charges and seek his extradition.
The Associated Press found that 94-year-old Michael Karkoc entered the U.S. in 1949 by lying to American authorities about his role in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion, which is accused of torching villages and killing civilians in Poland. AP's evidence indicates that Karkoc was at the scene of the massacres, although no records link him directly to atrocities.
TOP NAZI COMMANDER ACCUSED OF ATROCITIES HAS BEEN LIVING IN MINNESOTA FOR 60 YEARS
Kurt Schrimm, the head of the special German prosecutors' office responsible for investigating Nazi-era crimes, said Monday prosecutors "have opened a preliminary investigation procedure to examine the matter."

Surely he's about 100+ years old now?

Regardless as to his age or status, if the evidence is discovered that this Nazi participated in any way in the deaths and in any other atrosities against the jews, gypsies, polish and others during or after Hitlers' Nazi extermination regime';

then his sorry ass should be extradited back to Germany, tried and shot by firing squad, or at the least breathing his last breath in a prison cell where he is taunted, and hopefully beaten, day and night. Yes I mean this. Observer

The state of Minnesota has a larger population of Polish. I wonder what made him settle amoungst them? And the motive behind it.

JJ, maybe he felt that living amongst those he helped to exterminate would be such a smooth move that it would never occur to anyone that he might have been one of their staunchist enemies? Kind of like hiding in plain sight.

Just a guess on my part. Observer

I agree with that possibility Observer.... WoW! To just think about that, the possiblities are endless.
On the darkside, his memories were kept alive with the chatter of the Polish language he heard everyday... So creepy on all levels.

On the good thoughts side, he spent 60 years doing good towards a Polish community in America. Hard to believe though. His selfish nature would have taken over living in this free world... He first stepped into this country with a lie.

So creepy on all levels.

The ethnic make-up of Minnesota is as follows: German 38.6%, Norwegian 17%, Irish 11.9%, and Swedish 9.8%. I am not sure where anyone has the idea that there are a lot of Poles in Minnesota.

He probably moved there due to the large German population.

Karkoc's name surfaced when a retired clinical pharmacologist who took up Nazi war crimes research in his free time came across it while looking into members of the SS Galician Division who emigrated to Britain.


(This monument pays tribute to Ukraine civilians burned alive by German troops during the war - evidence suggests Mr Karkoc's unit was in the area at the time of the massacre)
He tipped off AP when an Internet search showed an address for Karkoc in Minnesota.

MEANWHILE ISRAEL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE WARS ON THE GLOBE AND JEWS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESTROYING THE WORLD'S ECONOMY

JEWS MURDERED MILLIONS OF ARABS AND NOBODY SAYS A WORD BUT THE WORLD MUST BE EXECUTED TO DEFEND ISRAEL

JerseyJane said...

Pam, look up the city or neighboring towns for a huge polish population.

>Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nebraska represent a different type of settlement with significant Polish communities, having been established in rural areas. Historian John Radzilowski estimates that up to a third of Poles in Minnesota settled in rural areas, where they established 40 communities around a Catholic Church.

Many people also died that were not known to be Jewish. Many gypsies of the lands, and people of other faiths, and people of no religious beliefs.

Peter, I accidently posted this on the wrong thread, which over there will be totally out of context. anyways, what I basically stated was that he is so old now, and probably wont live another yr, that it would be a waste of money to try him for war crimes. I hate him if he did those things, but am looking at it purely from an economic standpoint.
