John Hansl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hansl (1925 – ) is a Croatian man who entered the Nazi Waffen SS in 1943 at the age of 18. He served as an armed SS Death's Head battalion guard of civilian prisoners at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp near Berlin, and later at the Natzweiler Concentration Camp in France.
After World War II he moved to Austria and later he and his family immigrated to the United States. He become a citizen in 1966.
On April 8, 2005 a federal court working with evidence provided by the Office of Special Investigations revoked his American citizenship because of his service as a Nazi concentration camp guard. In this ruling the Judge wrote "regarding his personal conduct as a Death's Head guard leaves no room for factual dispute whether he personally advocated or assisted in persecution". The Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear an appeal of the lower court's ruling in the case. Deportation proceedings may now begin against Hansl.
