Continuation d'arrestation d'anciens nazis S.S.

[Mani]

Chose surprenante en Inde !

Fugitive Nazi held in State

A former top Nazi colonel was arrested on Saturday from the Khanapur forests on the Karnataka-Goa border.

Col Johann Bach, a high-ranking officer in Hitler’s elite Waffen SS (Schutzstaffel), was absconding for more than 50 years. He had moved into Calangute in Goa a few months back and had settled down under a fake identity.

But the 88-year-old Bach’s activities in Calangute betrayed him and soon the intelligence wing of Perus Narkp, the Berlin-based German Chancellor’s Core, was on his trail.

The German sleuths, assisted by Indian intelligence men, managed to zero in on Bach on Friday morning in Bardesh region of Goa. Bach tried to give them a slip. But the German sleuths finally managed to nab Bach after a 36-hour hot chase in the Khanapur forests on Saturday.

Colonel Bach belonged to Waffen SS, the armed wing of SS as Schutzstaffel was known.

SS was Hitler’s army of Nazi stormtroopers carved out of those who personally believed in Nazi ideology and would leave no stone unturned to achieve their ends.

According to a press release issued by Perus Narkp, Bach was posted as a senior adjutant at the Marsha Tikash Whanaab concentration camp in East Berlin and was responsible for the genocide of more than 12,000 Jews in World War II.

Incidentally, Bach’s deeds were glossed over at the Nuremberg trials.

Case revived

The case against him was revived following reports in Israeli media that he had resurfaced in India.

Bach was under observation in his Goan hideout for over six months now. Perus Narkp was alerted by a tip-off that an old foreigner was trying to to sell an antique, priceless 18th century piano.

A similar piano had been reported missing from an East Berlin museum after the World War II.

His preliminary interrogation revealed that he had earlier stayed in Argentina, Bulgaria, Yemen and Canada.

Bach was born in Eisenach in 1920 to Ambrosius Bach.

A brilliant musician like his illustrious 18th Century namesake, this eccentric Bach later rose high in the Nazi SS hierarchy.

His whereabouts have been kept a secret. He will be facing trial at the International Court of Justice, The Hague.

Antique piano ad leads police to Nazi Colonel

BELGAUM: He had placed an advertisement in an English daily in Goa saying that he had an 18th century piano to sell. But 88-yearold Johann Bach never imagined that the advertisement would give away so much of his past that he had so long successfully concealed.

A Colonel in the Waffen SS (Schutzstaffel), Johann Bach had a role in the extermination, in 1942, of 12,000 Jews at the Marsha Tikash Whanaab concentration camp in East Berlin. He had evaded justice for over half a century since the fall of the Third Reich, roaming the world. Since the end of World War II, he had spent time in Argentina, Bulgaria, Yemen and Canada. He had arrived in Goa recently.

There were reports in the Israeli media that he had surfaced at Calangute in Goa. Wanted by Interpol, Bach was caught in the jungles of Khanapur of Belgaum district. Bach had fled Germany after the defeat of Hitler in the War. The German government included Bach’s name in a ‘most wanted list’. How and why the Colonel came to the Khanapur jungles is a mystery. Superintendent of Police Hemant Nimbalkar, when contacted by this website's newspaper, said he was unaware of this incident.

Sources indicate that Perus Narkp detectives of Germany traced the missing Colonel to Goa. The message was passed to Interpol, which in turn passed the message to the Central Intelligence Department of the Union Home Ministry. What gave the Nazi Colonel away was the advertisement for the piano: This was an antique piece, and the description matched that of a piano that went missing from a museum in East Berlin, in close proximity to the Marsha Tikash Whanaab concentration camp where Bach was posted as a senior adjutant in 1942.

A series of trials for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military and economic leadership of Nazi Germany were held in the city of Nuremburg in Germany from 1945 to 1949 at the Palace of Justice, referred to as the Nuremburg trials.Sources said that an inquiry into this case will be conducted at the International Court of Justice at the Hague, Netherlands.
