All I remember from the time was that Mengele's remains had finally been identified - no one at the time had any idea about cause of death. Wiki says he drowned after suffering a stroke while swimming, but I'm unsure.
The hung one you're thinking about was Adolph Eichmann. Mossad agents kidnapped Eichmann in Argentina ca. 1960, and spirited him to Israel where he was put on trial, convicted and eventually hung. Heh. Kidnapped by Mossad agents and takent to Israel to answer for your actions during the war - an old nazi's greatest fear.
Yea Borman died trying to sneak out of Berlin. Not as ironic as I would like, but not bad.
What bugs me is that Speer charmed his way out of the gallows and into a light sentence. Goering was the only other high level Nazi they caught, and only because he was so drugged at that point he couldn't kill himself. Ironically in prison Goering got clean, and for the trial, was his old self again. He was actually able to mount a spirited defence at Nuremberg.
<_< I'm probably the only person who thinks that the top nazi leaders shouldn't of had been killed. Tried? sure. Not killed. Their knowledge is far too useful to just go to waste.
Actually, just screw the whole of the ME...Anarchy FTW!
Knowledge? I am sorry but while there were very capable Germans under the Nazi regime, the top brass were remarkably incompetent. The lower level and intelligent one WERE spirited away to the US and the USSR.
Anyways there crimes were so monstrous they could not possibly have any stay of execution.
"Sure, Jack The Ripper may have murdered a few prostitutes. But are we going to execute him and lose all that precious psycho-sexual surgery knowledge?"

General Robert Ritter von Greim and flying ace Hanna Reitsch were the people in the Storch. Greim received injuries to his leg from being shot at by the Russians but both made it into Hitler's Berlin bunker alive. Hanna Reitsch survived the war and won many medals for flying. Greim killed himself after being captured by American soldiers and out of fear of his being sent to a Russia POW camp. He took potassium cyanide, his last words were 'I am general of the luftwaffe, but i have no luftwaffe'.
what happened to Mengele,the "doctor" who did "medical" experiments at Auschwitz?
He first went on vacation to Argentina but in 1959 Josef desided to move to Brazil. Where he died in his SWIMMINGPOOL after a heartattack. That was 1979.
Not all nazi's got their punishment.

Guilt? And he did what he thought was the right thing to do. How do you punish someone who thinks they are doing the right thing?
