Nazi war criminals fled from Europe and changed their names

Since the beginning of the aggression against Ukraine in 2014, the Russians have committed many war crimes. Sooner or later they will face responsibility for this. It was the same with Nazi criminals. After the defeat in the Second World War, they fled to other countries and changed their surnames and names in the hope of avoiding punishment. However, they continued to be searched for by various special services and Nazi hunters. Some of them were exposed and tried even after decades — the "architect of the Holocaust" Adolf Eichmann, the "butcher of Lyons" Klaus Barbie and others. Still, there were also those who were never caught, such as the doctor Josef Mengele, known by the  nickname "Angel of Death from Auschwitz", who experimented on prisoners.

Adolf Eichmann What crimes did he commit: Eichmann was known as one of the "architects of the Holocaust." At the end of 1939, he headed the Gestapo department responsible for the "final solution of the Jewish question". That is, the extermination of the Jews in Europe. From 1940, Eichmann organized "evacuations" of Jews who were actually taken to ghettos or death camps. Then he rode around these concentration camps, reporting to the leadership on the effective implementation of the plan to exterminate the Jews. Eichmann was involved in the murder of about six million people. And after the death of Hitler and the trial of his henchmen, he became "the most wanted Nazi in the world."
