BERLIN (AP) — A top commander of a Nazi SS-led unit accused of burning villages filled with women and children lied to American immigration officials to get into the United States and has been living in Minnesota since shortly after World War II, according to evidence uncovered by The Associated Press.

Michael Karkoc, 94, told American authorities in 1949 that he had performed no military service during World War II, concealing his work as an officer and founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later as an officer in the SS Galician Division, according to records obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Galician Division and a Ukrainian nationalist organization he served in were both on a secret American government blacklist of organizations whose members were forbidden from entering the United States at the time.

He should declare himself a Muslim. The government will then back off.

He’ll be dead before the case even gets to stage one.

A guy like this died in Detroit in March. His citizenship had been revoked in 1996, but no other country would take him.

Let’s see if I have this right.

It’s possible to find and expose an old Nazi murderer, living in the US for decades but NOT to vet the ‘President’?

While all Nazis deserve what comes to them, I am amazed that men in their 90’s from a dead, non-existent political movement (who were at most 20 years old when WWII started) are still pursued with such seriousness and purpose by the media and the DOJ

Meanwhile, we have real and active enemies, from an equally dangerous religious-political movement, thousands of whom are in the country now, and the same media and Gov’t organizations will not speak of their activities.

Whenever I look at those old Nazi images and movies I think about what a nightmare much of the world was to live in during WWII. Russia, Germany, China etc...
In times of war people become warped by the sheer magnitude of overwhelming horror. I pray that if any of my family is ever forced to serve that they will sacrifice their own life before they participate in such atrocities.

Karkoc should announce that he’s a homo then Soetoro will invite him to dinner at the White House.

Read recently that a large percent of the illegals are folks who have over stayed their visa. Know two. Married Americans took husbands name and didn’t bother to do any paperwork to be legal.

I know a lady at church who was born in Lithuania.

When WW II broke out her parents had to make a choice.
Do we want to raise our children under Hitler or Stalin?

They chose Hitler. They moved to Germany where they became guest workers until the Brits bombed their house out of existence. Later they came to the US as refugees.

Could you imagine having to make such a choice?

There will be a position for him once the Obama has a chance to vet him and see if he truly is a mass murderer.

You read the article and still wonder why any effort is made to bring justice to these people? My God.

Why don't we just toss out all cold case homicide files while we're at it? I mean, the murderers could be old and sickly, so why waste time and money trying to solve these cases, and bring the perps to justice.

Horrifying. I fear though we are on that same trajectory with history. Godless leaders, leading Godless people to hate and kill each other. In the name of either a false religion or simply because they look and act different.
