Many Nazis escaped prosecution in Germany at the end of the war. There is quite an interesting account of a group of Waffen SS who fought for the French as legionnaires in Vietnam. They were all former Partisanjagers (partisan hunters) known as the "Devils Guard" (ref: book of the same name by George Robert Elford ) In another thread I mentioned working with an Estonian man, who became a Stateless person, being the victim of enforced service with the Waffen SS.

I worked for a German shipping company once; and the ship I was on was dry docked in Bremen in 1976. Getting to know some of the workers quite well over a period of two weeks,I was invited for a drink with them at a special "old comrades" re-union. They were all former Nazis, and members of the Waffen SS. Of course many were simply just soldiers, and were not the Waffen SS who guarded the Concentration camps; but it was a disturbing experience I shall never forget.


Waidmanns Heil!
