Nazi SS commander hid in Minnesota after WWII
Michael Karkoc, 94, a top commander of the Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later the Galician Division, lied to US immigration officials in 1949 about his military role. He lived in Minnesota since shortly after World War II, with AP documents linking his unit to massacres and involvement in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
