October 5, 1912 - Karl Hass
His postwar decades of evasion — including work as a spy and years of legal maneuvering — made Hass one of the longer-running cases of delayed accountability from the Nazi occupation of Italy, not standing trial until he was in his eighties. The two charges against him reflect distinct categories of harm: the administrative machinery of deportation, and the direct killing of civilians in one of the war's most documented reprisal atrocities.
From Wikipedia
Karl Hass (5 October 1912 – 21 April 2004) was an SS Sturmbannführer and German spy who helped deport more than 1,000 Italian Jews to Auschwitz. A perpetrator in the Ardeatine massacre, in which 335 civilians were murdered, he was tried and convicted in Italy in 1998. Hass subsequently spent the remainder of his life under limited house arrest.
