92 year old to be tried as a Juvenile ...

This is bloody ridiculous.
It's taken the authorities seventy years to find this guy ?
Was Inspector Clouseau involved in this ?

There were many blunders after WWII. Joachim Pieper, for example, commanded the SS unit that committed the Malmedy Massacre, where American POWs, hands tied with commo wire, were herded into a field and machinegunned. Although sentenced to death, he actually served only about 12 years.

He was living in France later, working as a translator, and on Bastille Day, 1976, his house was firebombed. The fire department responded, but their hoses had been slashed. His charred body was found in the ruins. To this day, no one knows who did it -- but it was obviously someone with a long memory and a strong sense of justice.

Gestapo Mueller vanished without a trace in Berlin in May, 1945. Martin Bormann wandered the Earth and led a ghostly existence until they dug him up in Berlin in 1972-where he had lain since 1945. At least they're prosecuting him.

A friend's father was in the army of occupation in Germany right after the war. He told his son a number of interesting things, including:

1) their jeeps had upright bars attached to the front bumper, with a forward-facing edge to them to cut wires at neck height that were sometimes strung across roads (or so the army feared).

2) SS men would endeavor to flee the country in the vestments of Catholic priests (part of the reason so many got to S. America.)

3) His patrol once uncovered a significant cache of incriminating documents regarding the exodus of former Nazis. They reported it to command, and were told to say nothing about it. To the best of their knowledge a high level decision was made to look the other way. From a practical perspective of administering Germany, if these people are leaving, then good. For justice? Not so good.

Borman was seen lying dead in the street -- people just wouldn't believe. On the other hand, if we had had a policy of pursuing Nazis as vigorously as we pursued Nazi technology, we'd have hanged a lot more of them,
