"Schrimm said charges of accessory to murder can be filed under the same theory that prosecutors used to try former Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk."
What theory would that be?
"Ex-US resident faces Nazi inquiry" by DAVID RISING | Associated Press, April 25, 2013
BERLIN — A 93-year-old man who acknowledged he served with the SS in the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp but contends he was only a cook is under investigation by German authorities as a possible accessory to murder, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Hans Lipschis was deported from the United States in 1983 for lying about his Nazi past when he immigrated to Chicago in the 1950s after the war.
Is that really his name?
With no evidence linking him to specific war crimes, however, it was impossible under previous German law to bring charges against him, said Thomas Will, a prosecutor with the German office dealing with Nazi war crimes.
But now the Lipschis case is being pursued on the same legal theory used to prosecute former Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk, who died last year while appealing his 2011 conviction in Germany for accessory to murder on the grounds that he served as a guard at the Sobibor death camp.
Under the new line of thinking, even without proof of participation in a specific crime, a person who served at a death camp can be charged with accessory to murder because the camp’s sole function was to kill people.

In other words, the accusation is the conviction -- even if "evidence" has to be created.

"Last surviving Nazi criminals sought" by Kirsten Grieshaber | Associated Press, July 24, 2013
BERLIN — The Simon Wiesenthal Center launched a poster campaign in several German cities Tuesday appealing for help in tracking down the last surviving Nazi war criminals not yet brought to justice and promising compensation to those who provide useful information.

Wiesenthal the Weasel
Seems to be an idiosyncratic characteristic of tribe members, doesn't it?
About 2,000 posters depicting the entrance gate of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz were put up in the cities of Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne asking the public to come forward with information that may lead to the arrest of Nazis some seven decades after the end of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.
Not exactly "news," is it?
‘‘Unfortunately, very few people who committed the crimes had to pay for them,’’ Efraim Zuroff, the US-based Jewish center’s top Nazi hunter, told reporters. ‘‘The passage of time in no way diminishes the crimes.’’
We will remember that in the future when the EUSraeli empire faces it war crimes trials.
The Wiesenthal Center is asking for tips to be called in to a hot line in Germany....
Zuroff, who is the director of the center’s Israel office, estimated there are still about 60 people alive in Germany who are fit to stand trial for the crimes they allegedly committed.
Why don't you leave them alone and go after today's walking, living, breathing war criminals?
Oh, right, that would be most of the Israeli leadership.

"Recalling the heroes of uprising in Warsaw; Polish president leads tribute on 70th anniversary" by Vanessa Gera | Associated Press, April 20, 2013
WARSAW — Sirens wailed and church bells tolled Friday as largely Roman Catholic Poland paid homage to the Jewish fighters who rose up 70 years ago against German Nazi forces in the Warsaw ghetto uprising....

The Germans actually won the war?
President Bronislaw Komorowski was joined at the iconic Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw by officials from Poland, Israel, and elsewhere as well as a survivor of the fighting, Simha Rotem, to honor the first large-scale rebellion against the Germans during World War II.
What about the Jewish collaborators that helped run the camps?
About 750 Jews with few arms and no military training made their opening attack on April 19, 1943, on a much larger and well-equipped German force. The attack came after most of the ghetto’s nearly half million inhabitants had already been sent to die at Treblinka.
The insurgency came when it was clear the Nazis were about to send the remaining residents of the ghetto to die in the concentration camp as well. The revolt was crushed the following month, and the ghetto was razed to the ground....
Rotem’s uncertainty is in stark contrast to how the world remembers the revolt. Though a clear military defeat, it is hailed as a moral victory for the Jewish fighters, who refused to go to the gas chambers without a fight. It is prominently commemorated in Israel, part of a never-again ethos that stresses self-defense.
‘‘The Nazi Germans made a hell on earth of the ghetto,’’ Komorowski said in a speech. ‘‘Persecuting the Jews appealed to the lowest of human instincts.’’
Today's hell on earth is Palestine.

"Facing possible ban, German far-right changes tack" by Frank Jordans | Associated Press, September 05, 2012
VIERECK, Germany — At a rally of Germany’s biggest far-right party, skinheads raised fists to nationalist chants and wore T-shirts that skirt the limits of German law: ‘‘Enforce National Socialism’’ read one; another proclaimed the wearer to be ‘‘100 percent un-kosher.’’ Some covered illegal neo-Nazi tattoos with tape because police were on the prowl.
But the party’s leader says he is taking his National Democratic Party mainstream.
‘‘My aim is to make the NPD a party firmly based in the present and looking toward the future,’’ Holger Apfel said. Breaking a far-right taboo, he said Nazi Germany’s record during World War II included ‘‘crimes.’’
Apfel has tactical reasons for toning down his message: Authorities are considering a ban on the party. Yet the attempt to appeal to the center prompted anger in the small but entrenched ultra-right movement, where many refuse to acknowledge that Germany under Nazism — or National Socialism — was responsible for the slaughter of 6 million Jews.
Actually, the number was revised downward and the camps were rife with disease.
Despite talk of change, it did not take long for Apfel to show flashes of hardcore xenophobia....
The government’s decision to weigh a party ban follows the revelation in November that a small neo-Nazi cell carried out seven years of killing that left nine immigrants and a policewoman dead.
Authorities have not been able to prove that the cell operated with direct support from the National Democratic Party. But key party officials have been linked to the group’s three core members, who evaded police for over a decade despite being on the run for other crimes.
Angela Merkel considers the National Democratic Party ‘‘anti-democratic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, and therefore also a threat to the constitution,’’ the German chancellor’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, told reporters. But a previous attempt to outlaw the party was rebuffed by the country’s top court in 2003 and officials are treading carefully before deciding whether to launch a new bid to have the party banned.
Apfel’s appeal to mainstream voters runs parallel to the emergence of several ultranationalist fringe groups. One calls itself ‘‘The Immortals.’’ It has staged marches in small towns, protesting what it regards as an excessive influx of foreigners threatening the racial purity of the German nation. Chilling videos show dozens of people in white masks carrying burning torches.
Germany's KKK?
There are no reliable estimates for the number of members these new fringe groups have.
Related:
"Membership has dropped, and the party is marginalized at a national level."
But don't rely on that.
Authorities estimate that they number in the several thousands, with many more who sympathize with the cause but are not actively involved.
Probably because they discovered the truth about Jewish distortions and lies regarding history.

"Merkel warns of apathy’s dangers" by David Rising | Associated Press, January 31, 2013

We used to call it beating a dead horse.
Speaking Wednesday at the opening of an exhibit at the Topography of Terror memorial documenting Hitler’s election, Merkel said German academics and students happily joined the Nazis only a few months later in burning books deemed subversive.
‘‘The rise of the Nazis was made possible because the elite of German society worked with them, but also, above all else, because most in Germany at least tolerated this rise,’’ Merkel said.
Some actually even encouraged it:

Zionism and the Third Reich
Nothing is as the Jewish War Paper makes it seem.
The memorial is built around the ruins of buildings where the Gestapo, the SS, and the Reich Security Main Office ran Hitler’s police state from 1933 to 1945.
The fact that Hitler was able to destroy German democracy in only six months serves as a warning of what can happen if the public is apathetic, Merkel said.
Too late for AmeriKa!
‘‘Human rights do not assert themselves on their own, freedom does not emerge on its own, and democracy does not succeed on its own,’’ Merkel said. ‘‘No, a dynamic society . . . needs people who have regard and respect for one another.”
That's why the Israeli-inculcated West is failing.

"Court rules neo-Nazi’s Web posting not protected speech" by Michael Tarm | Associated Press, October 27, 2012
CHICAGO — A white supremacist solicited violence against a juror by posting the man’s address, phone number, and other personal details on his extremist website, an appellate court ruled on Friday, overturning a lower court’s decision to toss the neo-Nazi’s conviction on the grounds that his posts were protected by the First Amendment.
The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago concluded that the posts by William A. White — who gained notoriety in 2008 for seeming to invite the assassination of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama on the same website — were not subject to the shield that the Constitution extends to most speech.
I've already stated my opposition to the assassination of any AmeriKan president, and does this guy ever smell like FBI!
Even though White didn’t explicitly instruct anyone to attack the juror when he posted the data on the website, the appellate judges said White’s loyal readers would have known that was just what he meant in the context of other threats, including against Obama.
Now the government is READING MINDS!
The juror White singled out served as the foreman in a 2005 trial that convicted another white supremacist of soliciting the murder of a federal judge in Chicago.
In its unanimous 30-page ruling, the judges said ‘‘criminal solicitations are simply not protected.’’

"Germany bans 3 Islamic groups" by David Rising | Associated Press, March 14, 2013
BERLIN — German authorities banned three ultraconservative Islamic groups Wednesday and separately announced they had foiled a suspected assassination attempt by Islamist extremists against a prominent far-right politician.
Wouldn't they be working together?

The groups banned included one whose Internet propaganda videos helped inspire the extremist who killed two American airmen at Frankfurt airport in 2011, the country’s domestic intelligence chief said.

Police launched early morning raids on 21 apartments and one meeting room belonging to DawaFFM, Islamic Audios, and al-Nussrah — all of which adhere to the hardcore conservative Salafi interpretation of Islam.
The groups were largely involved in recruitment, fund-raising, and propaganda, including videos and other postings urging people to fight against those who did not believe in their version of Islam, said Hans-Georg Maassen, the head of Germany’s domestic intelligence service, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
‘‘These organizations are oriented against the basic right to freedom of religion — against Christians and other faiths including Shi’ites,’’ Maassen said.
For example, he said, in one DawaFFM YouTube posting, an Arabic speaker told Shi’ite Muslims: ‘‘If the Prophet Muhammad heard your words he’d hack off your hands and feet and banish you from the earth.’’
So much for Al-CIA-Duh and Iran working together.

It was DawaFFM YouTube videos and Facebook postings that helped radicalize Arid Uka — the lone-wolf attacker who killed two US airmen and injured two others at the Frankfurt Airport in 2011, Maassen said.
Uka was convicted of murder last year and sentenced to life in prison.

In an operation unrelated to the ban on the groups, police arrested four men overnight on suspicion of planning to murder the leader of a far-right fringe party known as pro-NRW.
Two of them were arrested in a vehicle near the home of Markus Beisicht in the western city of Leverkusen, police said in a statement. Two other men were arrested when police searched private properties in Essen and Bonn, where a firearm and ‘‘material suitable for the manufacture of explosives’’ were also found.
