NAZI DOCTOR PRESUMED LIVING CHILE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED

 
 

Austrian Nazi doctor Aribert Heim, who has been hiding from German police since 1962 and presumed to be living in Chile, was assassinated in 1982 according to former Israeli intelligence officer Danny Baz.

In his new book Baz claims the doctor, who, during the Word War II killed and experimented on prisoners in the Austrian concentration camp Malhausen, was killed in the U.S. by a group called “La Chouette.”

Baz identifies La Chouette as a secret group of militant murderers who in the 1970s and 1980s hunted and killed several former Nazi officers and doctors who had managed to escape standing trail in post-war Germany. In Baz’s new book he writes that Heim, also knows as “Doctor Death”, was lured from his assumed exile in Canada to California by the clandestine group and then assassinated at Santa Catalina Island of the coast of California.

The assassination of Doctor Death, said Baz, was paid for by a former concentration camp prisoner identified as “Barney.” The former prisoner supposedly survived a torture session led by Heim.

The disclosure notwithstanding, German police still apparently believe Heim is alive and living in Chile. In August this year, Chilean media sources revealed German investigators had visited the country looking for the escaped Nazi.

The German police questioned Heim’s family, which currently resides in Chile. Heim’s daughter Waltraud Diharce has lived in Chile since the 1970s, mostly in Puerto Montt. Strengthening the Chilean connection, the police noted that Heim’s former girlfriend Gertrud Böser, who is Waltraud’s mother, visited Chile 18 times between 1982 and 1992.

When interrogated by the police. Heim’s daughter Waltraud claimed to know nothing about her father’s fate and said her mother died 20 years ago. Other family members have also provided various accounts of Heim’s death, one saying he died of cancer in South America and another saying he was murdered in Russia.
