Nazi SS commander hid war past to enter United States
The Associated Press found that Michael Karkoc, 94, lied to U.S. immigration in 1949 about his WWII service, concealing roles in the Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and the Galician Division. He has lived in Minnesota since shortly after the war, with records linking his unit to massacres and possible presence at the Warsaw Uprising. Polish prosecutors will investigate with U.S. DOJ support, while German authorities weigh possible charges.
