Topic: Erich Priebke


In the News (Thu 16 Oct 08)

  
  Erich Priebke
Erich Priebke, born July 29, 1913 at Hennigsdorf, Brandenburg, Germany is a former SS Hauptsturmführer of Nazi Germany.
Priebke was ruled not guilty, because the case was judged to be expired.
Priebke was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while another man who also was part of the massacre, Karl Hass, was sentenced to 10 years.

 Ex-Nazi sought after acquittal on massacre charges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The panel acquitted Priebke of the aggravated charges of premeditation and cruelty, which are not subject to a statute of limitation and carry a penalty of life in prison.
Priebke did not take the stand but sat bolt upright in a straight-backed chair throughout the trial, looking eerily similar to a 55-year-old photograph that showed a cocky officer with a gap-toothed grin.
Priebke was arrested in May 1994 in Argentina, where he lived for decades in an Andean resort town.

 Erich Priebke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erich Priebke (born July 29, 1913 at Hennigsdorf, Brandenburg, Germany) is a Nazi war criminal.
Priebke was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, while another man who also was part of the massacre, Karl Hass, was sentenced to ten years.
Priebke appealed the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, where he claimed he had no choice but to obey Hitler's orders, a defense which has been ruled invalid ever since the Nuremberg Trials.

Priebke is now serving a life sentence under house arrest for his role in the shooting of 335 people in 1944, in the Ardeatine Caves near Rome.
But when Priebke was finished with his calculations, he was surprised to discover that though Hitler's order had called for 330 executions, there were 335 bodies: an irritating "error." As one German was later to tell a superior, the soldiers had simply shot everyone who had been trucked to the caves.
Priebke's case may seem on its surface to be a historical curiosity, perhaps the last such moral challenge to be posed by World War II.

 Presse-Info - Erich PRIEBKE (1)
On July 22, 1997, former Nazi SS Captain Erich Priebke was convicted by an Italian military tribunal for his role in the 1994 massacre of 355 Italian civilians in the Ardeatine caves outside of Rome.
Priebke, who openly discussed his involvement in the massacre to Sam Donaldson of the ABC News show "Primetime" in 1994, justified his action with the excuse that he was following the orders of Gestapo Chief Herbert Kappler.
Priebke told Donaldson that the victims, including boys of fourteen and men as old as seventy-five, were nothing but "terrorists." He admitted drawing up the lists of those who would be executed, including some seventy Jews, and has even admitted to killing one of them himself.

In addition to the massacre, Priebke is thought to have participated in the deportation of 6,000-7,000 Jews from Italy to Auschwitz concentration camp, and to have tortured political prisoners.
The Italian minister of justice later said that Priebke might be arrested again, depending on whether or not he was going to be extradited to Germany, where he was charged with murder.
The appellate court decided that Hass and Priebke had committed cruel murders of the first degree and that they should be put away for life.

Erich Priebke, 82, was arrested in June 1994 after admitting his involvement in the 1944 murders of 335 Italian civilians in the Ardeatine Caves outside Rome.
Priebke claimed that Kappler's widow had recently called him and said the charges against him were ``madness,'' since her husband had accepted all responsibility.
Priebke said his job was to ``erase'' names of victims from a list as they were led ``one by one with their hands tied'' into the caves for execution.
