Paul Schäfer was a wartime corporal and medic. He fled Germany in 1961 following child abuse charges and formed a secretive cult-like camp in Chile. After new accusations of child abuse he fled to Argentine, where he was again caught in 2005 and sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment for sexually abusing and torturing children. He died in prison in Chile Saturday, age 88.
Evil personified. He is not worth speaking about. His past did not catch up to him soon enough. Regards Tom

thats a twofer as we say in the USA, two for the price of one. a baby raper and a nazi... too bad he didnt get wasted in ww2.
Reading the article I don't see what his WW2 service has do do with what he did after the war. As another member pointed out (which got me thinking) the word 'ex-nazi' seems to be used rather loosely. Being a Medic, for all I know he could have saved Allied soldiers lives during WW2. Obviously the crimes he committed in the 60's are some of the worst a human can commit but the article kind of suggests that it was because he was in the Hitler Youth or an ex-nazi. I fail to see the connection. Perhaps I'm reading to deep into the article. Anyway, anyone know what that tattoo/number is on his arm? I wondered if it was to do with the German Army (Link Clive posted)? Cheers A
How many more of these oxygen thieves are still around? Under the cover of providing dignity for the children, he took theirs away. The sod would be in solitary even in hell!

This was their blood group tatoo. Regards Tom
Andy & Tom Purely on a technical point and nothing to do with the scumbag being discussed but very much to do with the underarm tattoo as worn by the SS. Go have a look at this article: BBC - WW2 People's War - An Interrogator's Life (Part 3) During the month that my unit was running a POW camp at Ferndorf it was quite a common thing for Field Security to call the prisoners on parade and tell them to raise their right arms above their heads so that the tattoo could be identified. ps See Posting No.17 for correction
I've been wondering both about the tattoo and the wording 'ex-nazi'. SS had their tattoo - if they had one at all - under their left arm, above the elbow. Like Andy said, being a medic in the German Army isn't equal to being a nazi. However, the fact that he founded an anti-Semitic sect and gave refuge to hiding nazis is a strong indicator that he at least agreed with NS-ideology. I still don't quite get the term 'ex-nazi'. Wouldn't that imply that someone is not a nazi anymore (and nazi has less to do with having been in the NSDAP than being adherent to nazi ideology and views)? Or is it a common English term?
Heimbrent I stand corrected, I'm sure you're right and that it was the left arm. Just another example of one's memory playing one false BBC - WW2 People's War - The War Ends in Italy, 2nd May 1945

Hello Heimbrent Using the word ex would designate that the nazi party no longer exists. This would not necessarily mean that the individual concerned looks at themselves as an ex member of that party.
Using the word ex would designate that the nazi party no longer exists. This would not necessarily mean that the individual concerned looks at themselves as an ex member of that party. So it's just a question of party membership? In that case the use of the term 'nazi' in English differs from the one in German, because whoever is adherent to the NS-ideology is called a Nazi (new or old) - the fact that the NSDAP doesn't exist anymore has no influence. In German, an ex-nazi would be someone who changed political and ideological views, I guess.

I would say the British way of using the term "ex" would not specifically mean that the individual no longer believes in the ideology of the np. The use of "ex" would mean that party no longer exists so the individual cannot be a member. Also if proven that a member has changed their political views the "ex" would also be used.
