    marcus69x I love WW2 meah!!!

    I got these off someone on facebook. Thought the forum might like to see them so here goes:

    The Villa that overlooked the camp

    The stairs leading down to the cellar

    The cellar where Helena Hirsch used to live. In the corner is where the washing facilities used to be.

    What a curious survival.
    Coincidentally, someone just sent me footage of Goeth's execution from Youtube (I get some odd emails).
    Rather bungled '3rd time lucky' job... not enough to raise any sympathy for the man though.

    I wonder if the Nazi's would have hung him anyway, the way things went for him after his 'career' in the KLs.

    Cheers Owen. Nice Kmz file even if it doesn't resemble the camp now, it's still nice to see where history happened.

    I still think he looks like Lee Harvey Oswald though. :p

    Such an Aryan pot-belly in post #1 !

    And somewhere in a forum there is a member with a nickname inspired on this filth and he is left alone.

    If anyone has any doubts about the Nazis and the Third Reich being evil, they should be referred to this scumbags career.

    The kind of stories our Neo or Wannabe friends don't like to hear about.

    I've found the address of the villa on here.

    Schindler's KrakówÂX Amon Goeth - Sightseeing in Krakow - In Your Pocket city guide - essential travel guides to cities in Poland

    Goeth’s villa still stands and can be viewed at ul. Heltmana 22.

    If I've got it right here is a kmz file to view it on GoogleEarth.

    Have I got the location of his house & plaszow camp correct?

    If so they are quite away apart.
    Did he really shot people from the balcony as in the film?
    If so were they marching to the camp as the camp is too far away.
    From above mentioned website
    Unable to shoot at prisoners from his balcony, he saved that dubious pleasure to taking crack shots from high on a hill.
