The Nazis Back in Action?

While it's a rarely followed story in Germany.....there's a murder trial underway on a Nazi individual (there were several folks in the deal).....and around ten foreign guys killed over the past decade.  What the cops said during the period of the murders....was that they had no connection.

Somewhere along the way, they stumbled upon this one small German Nazi group.....who planned and carried out the murders.  The size of the group?  Three.  That's what makes this a bit unusual.  There's only one member who lives at this point....the other two have passed on (by their own hands).  At least three to five times a week, there's a brief 30-second update on the evening news.  The case against this remaining gal from the Nazi group is hard to figure.  To say it's an 'open-and-shut' case?  No....based on some evidence, it might be hard to connect her to various parts of the whole scheme.

This week, the cops finally finished up a preliminary review of all murders in Germany since 1990, which are unsolved.  They pick 1990....mostly because that's when the wall went down, and reunification occurred.

The total of unsolved murders?  3,300.

Well....the cops hint that roughly 849 folks are dead and of a suspicious nature that might relate to Nazi-like attacks.

You can imagine some German political figure standing there and trying to grasp the idea of a bunch of Nazi-related murders going on, and how things might not be as pure and clean as they'd like to believe.

The man-hours of doubling back to 849 cases of unsolved murder....some going back twenty years?  Even with a staff of twenty detectives....this could take two years to review and come to a conclusion acceptable to the public.  The odds of even ten-percent leading to a Nazi-like "hit"?  It's hard to imagine any reliable guess on this.

A couple of years ago, suggesting that a Nazi group of some type existed and was whacking a couple of foreign guys would have been laughed at in Germany.  Today?  We might come to some conclusion in a couple of years that three hundred foreign folks came to an untimely end....because of Nazi-cell operation.  Then what?

As hyper as Germans were about Islamic fundamentalists and the NSA business....they might have to suddenly get all peppy about Nazis and the threat of murders.
