Germany – The head of the special German prosecutors’ office that investigates Nazi crimes says a probe of 50 suspected former Auschwitz guards is near complete and may result in charges against many of them.

Berlin’s taz newspaper reports more than 40 suspects were found to be still alive in Germany. Prosecutor Kurt Schrimm told The Associated Press on Monday his office planned on recommending charges against most.
State prosecutors then have to review the cases and decide if there is enough evidence to press charges.
Schrimm says the investigations are not quite complete, and that more details would be announced next week.
They are being pursued under a new legal theory that anyone who served in a death camp can be charged as an accessory to murder.
Take your time fellas, the war only ended 70 years ago. Everyone they would be looking at is over 90.
THIS IS RIDICULOS !!!!!!! There is a funny video of Adolf Hitler as a fictional Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) short seller making the rounds on trading desks Monday.
A maddened Hitler exclaims “At some point, you have to expect people to place some sort of rational valuation on the stock… Can any one of you “financial genius” give me a single reason the stock is trading at $150? $85 I could understanding, even $100 seemed possible. But $120, $130, $140 – it’s madness, madness!”
“I want you to call my broker. I want him to double down on my shorts… I am not going to let this position beat me, there’s too much at stake.”
While fictional, the episode could be being played out in real life across Wall Street. Shares of Tesla hit another new high of $172.75 today.
Probe Of 50 Auschwitz Nazi Suspects Near Complete. I hope the probe is being conducted by a gastronologist and without an enema.
