I'm wondering if there are many left alive today :hmmm:
Nazi war criminal Erich Priebke has died at the age of 100 in Italy, his lawyer has told Italian media.
Priebke was jailed for life in 1998 for his role in the WWII massacre of 335 Italians at Rome's Ardeatine Caves.
But because of his age and poor health, he was allowed to serve his sentence under house arrest in the capital.
The move caused anger over what some people in the city regarded as conditions that were far too comfortable and lenient.

He remained steadfast and unrepentant to the end.
"Yes I was there," he said. "But that was a thing that was ordered by our [commanders].
"An order was an order... I had to carry it out."
