he went to treat Bormann 's stomach cancer in 1958

well done Kaytee, I couldn't remember who he had tracked down
just read that Mengele went to Brazil and died in a swimming accident
@Rocking Ros Rose posted:he went to treat Bormann 's stomach cancer in 1958
Did he .....I thought that was just speculation Ros ....but Iâm probably wrong

I remember there was a bit of controversy over whether it was him or not,but can't remember the outcome

I think they did dna eventually Kaytee and it was proven it was him
@Dame_Ann_Average posted:well done Kaytee, I couldn't remember who he had tracked down
Not sure but think he was bumped off,not brought backâĪïļ

apparently seems to be an official source but who knows bazzy -although there does seem to be a bit of speculation about it all - not sure its all correct tbh
when you think some of them lived a good life for 40 years after they fled
@Kaytee posted:I could remember Wiesenthal catching one of them.....it was Eichmannð
yes just read that now
@Dame_Ann_Average posted:I think they did dna eventually Kaytee and it was proven it was him
Aah....of course, my knowledge didn't reach as far as DNAâĪïļ

yes they seemed to have enjoyable lives apparently Mengele died in 1979 in a swimming accident

I'm struggling to remember...I used to watch the Nazi Hunters on TV years ago

I hope someone stood on him in the pool
just read that Bormann should have gone on trial at Nuremburg but it was presumed he had committed suicide
@Baz posted:Speer got away easy after the war !
I did Social and Economic History of the Nazis at Uni......all I know about Speer was concerned with housing and architecture
@Dame_Ann_Average posted:I hope someone stood on him in the pool
yes fitting end
@Dame_Ann_Average posted:I'm struggling to remember...I used to watch the Nazi Hunters on TV years ago
Mr KT was very interested in Wiesenthal.....I just caught bits and pieces
wow that was crafty
@Dame_Ann_Average posted:I hope someone stood on him in the pool
Think they probably drowned him first
@Rocking Ros Rose posted:wow that was crafty
I remember him nicking the plane
