I'd like to see Mossad just find him and kill him, no point bringing him back to Israel where the most he would face is prison.
Ping.
The photo is most emphatically not one of a 95-yrs old - more like 70.
I wonder how many Nazi war criminals Syria has protected over the years.
Probably not as many as South Africa, Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina.
geez! There's still a nazi war criminal ALIVE??
Its a 20-year old photo. Brunner gave a TV interview around 1985 in which he said he regretted nothing. I think that shot of the old Brunner is from that video.
40 or so years ago the late (unofficial head of Odessa) German "Uber-commando" Otto Skorczeny allegedly said that he would have never helped "that swine Brunner". So it would appear that Brunner wasn't himself very popular. I'd like to think that Skorczeny, one of the most brilliant "special operators" in history, and a man who did not commit war crimes himself, held those who did in low regard. Who knows?
A 95-year old man making a trip from Syria to Brazil is a bit far-fetched. And who would take care of him in Brazil? Mengele, 30 years ago, eeked out an obscure existence there (hence he escaped man's justice).
Brunner is probably long dead. How many 95-year olds are there? Very, very few. Someone ought to get Syria to fess up to what happened to "Dr. Georg Fisher".
What about the Kaiser, are we still looking for him?
Pretty amazing, isn't it? I have no desire to see guys like this escape justice, but what are you really going to threaten a 95 year old man with?
Put him in prison and you have to feed him. It's not like you are going to ruin his social life. How many geezers that age do anything more than sit around and watch tv anyhow.
You can't even torture him, he would just croak.
At some point, the desire for revenge against criminals like this gets silly.
Well, at least the Iranaian president has someone who can back up his claim that the Holocaust is a myth... /sarcasm
He certainly keeps a lower profile than the Hapsburgs.
A quick search indicates that that would be Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia. Picture and bio here: http://www.nettyroyal.nl/georg.html
At least we don't have to hunt for Franco, he's still dead.
It's hard to believe any Nazis are still alive. The war ended in 1945. They must be in their 90s. Look in "Assisted Living" homes.

Actually in Israel, the only crime that carries the death penalty is being a Nazi war criminal.
Eichmann was hanged by the Israelis. What makes you think the same won't happen in this case?
The name of the game is "let's see how much money we can waste on finding a man that will be dead within a few years."
Hell, he may be dead already.
Meanwhile, in this "international search" for an ex-Nazi, far worse people with identical views under different names run around the world with impugnity and without so much as a mention.
Too funny.
Kaiser Wilhelm II died in 1941 in the Netherlands.
