"On Wednesday 88-year-old former SS member Heinrich Boere goes on trial in Germany for the murder of three Dutch citizens during World War II. Boere is probably the last Dutch war criminal to face justice.

Nazi hunter Ulrich Maass is a satisfied man. The assassin he has been chasing for years is going to stand trial at last. In Aachen on Wednesday, Maass, the state prosecutor at Dortmund and the head of the German Nazi crimes unit, will deliver his opening arguments in what is probably the last trial against a Dutch war criminal from World War II.

Former SS member Henirich Boere (88) is accused of the murders of three Dutch citizens: Fritz Bicknesse, Teun de Groot and Frans Kusters. The son of a Dutch father and a German mother, Boere was a member of the SS Sonderkommando Feldmeijer, which killed more than fifty Dutch citizens between September 1943 and September 1944 in retaliation for anti-German actions by the resistance."

Victim's son urges Nazi hit man to accept blame - Yahoo! News

The son of a Dutch civilian killed by a Nazi hit squad during World War II urged the former Waffen SS soldier charged with his father's murder to accept responsibility for his actions in court Monday.

In a statement read to the Aachen state court by his attorney, Teun de Groot said he had waited 65 years to look defendant Heinrich Boere in the eyes.

"Now you say that you regret what you did back then," de Groot said in the short statement. "If you really regretted it, then accept the verdict of the court."
