Nazi Is Found on Isle in Antartic;
Other Fights Argentine Deportation
NEW YORK (JTA) — SS Colonel
Walter Herman Rauff, an ex-Nazi
accused of slaughtering 97,000
Jews in Poland during World War
II, has been found living on the
Antarctic island of Tierra del
Fuego, a Chilean possession, the
National Broadcasting Company
television network reported Mon-
day night.
Chet Huntley, of NBC-TV's Hunt-
ley-Brinkley program, showed a
filmed interview with Rauff in
which the German said he would
not mind returning to Germany "if
there were an entire change in
thinking and policy of the German
government." Huntley added that
the NBC reporter found Rauff "has
repeatedly asked for a police
guard, and has told acquaintances
he fears possible kidnaping or as-
sassination."
Rauff was arrested in Chile in
1962, on request of the West Ger-
man government, which sought
to have him extradited for a war
crimes trial. However, the high-
est Chilean court ruled that,
since he is a Chilean citizen, and
the crimes charged against him
were "political," he could not
be extradited.
Rauff is considered by We'St Ger-
many as "one of the most wanted"
Nazi criminals. The late Adolf
Eichmann had named him during
the 1961 Eichmann trial in Jerusa-
lem, as a high officer of the Gesta-
po whose job had been to murder
Polish Jews in gas trucks. At Tier-
ra del Fuego, NBC-TV reported,
Rauff runs a canning factory. He
told the television reporter: "I am
under the protection of the Chilean
government like any other Chilean
citizen."

Meanwhile, Gerhard Bohne, long
sought as a major Nazi criminal,
has been ordered sent to Germany
to face trial but has appealed to
the Argentinian Supreme Court
against the extradition order. The
Supreme Court is expected to hear
Bohne's appeal soon.
Bohne was a member of a Nazi
team which planned and imple-
mented the Nazi euthanasia pro-
gram and was also involved in the
creation and camouflaging of the
death chambers as well as in the
selection of the Nazi execution
squads which murdered hundreds
of thousands of Jews during the
war.
A one-time attorney, Bohne is ac-
cused of using his legal skills to
draft orders to keep secret the plan
for the Nazi "final solution" for
the "Jewish problem."
Captured by American troops in
1944, Bohne escaped trial at the
end of the war and two years later
slipped into Argentina where he
remained until 1955 when he re-
turned to Germany to live on a
pension as a former civil servant.
Arrested by German police he was
released. He fled to Chile and
then to Argentina.
