Austria offers 50,000-euro reward for fugitive Nazis

Jul 13, 2007, 15:51 GMT

Vienna - Austria's Justice Ministry on Friday announced rewards of 50,000 euros each for information leading to the capture of Nazi war criminals Aribert Heim and Alois Brunner.

Brunner, now aged 95, is accused of having assisted in the deportation of Jews from German-occupied Hungary and Greece as an officer in the elite Nazi SS organization.

Former concentration camp medic, Heim (now 93) is believed to be in hiding in South America and is accused of murdering hundreds of inmates at the Mauthausen death camp via injections or organ removals without anaesthesia.

The medic, who ran a doctor's practice in Baden-Baden in Germany after World War II, has been on the run since 1962.

That just baffles me ! Why do governments wait 60 plus years to go looking for Nazis ? Even if they are found they would be too old to care. Sounds like a public relations stunt to me.

And if they do find them, what? Are those old men going to wait for the extradition trial and deportation. And if so, then what? Prosecute them, imprison them?

Sheer political correctness!

Looks like Haider is not in charge anymore lol !

Better late than never, maybe there is a tiny chance left that this nazi scum die in jail.
