The extradition of Ivan Demjanjuk, a suspected Nazi death camp guard, from the US to Germany is reportedly underway. However, news reports about the extradition from Fox News and CNN TV channels haven’t been confirmed.
On Monday, an ambulance carrying the 89-year-old arrived at US immigration offices in Cleveland, Ria Novosti news agency reports. Then Demjanjuk was taken to an airport, guarded by police officers and immigration service workers.

An airport official has confirmed to journalists that the plane with Demjanjuk onboard took off at 19:13 local time heading for Germany.
US officials have yet to comment on the deportation.
Earlier, Germany says it expects the accused Nazi guard to be extradited to the country by Tuesday where he will face a jury in Munich when official charges are brought against him.
The Ukranian-born Demjanjuk is accused of nearly 30,000 counts of murder while a guard at a death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. He is further suspected of being the guard known as ‘Ivan the terrible’, who has so far managed to avoid punishment.
His family and lawyers say his health is too poor for him to travel, but a court ordered his extradition after he was filmed recently walking near his home.

One man's victory against all oddsWhen John Robinson was born without arms or legs his parents nearly gave him up for adoption. Today he’s a successful marketing executive, competitive golfer and family man, and will have a major television documentary. |
That last comment by County Cash was very well written & so articulate - I am impressed. You're so eloquent, but unfortunately so misguided. It just goes to show you that one can be book-smart, but have NO common sense. Doesn't anyone see the irony in bringing an 89 year old man to "justice" and extolling the virtues of Germany when they were the country that promulgated the Nazi movement in the first place?! They [Germany] are using this man (whom by the way was let go by Israel due to insufficient evidence) as a scape-goat to untarnish their image from long ago (WWII era). Even IF he was involved, this man fled right after the war and renounces anything to do with the Nazi movement. He retired from GM, he worked his whole life, he paid his taxes, he raised a happy and healthy family, or even had a speeding ticket his whole life in the U.S. It's irrelevant whether he's guilty or not - the man's 89! Also, to expound on the previous poster's comments - it's impossible to even prove this man's guilty! They've been trying for 20 years, but never could find solid evidence! And, the comment made by this said previous poster of "it's a fantastic simple message for our children" - well, what I have to say to that is, the message that we should be sending to our children is to teach them right from wrong without destroying this man's or any other man's life whom very well may be innocent! The whole world was involved in WWII and knew about the Nazi's. The U.S. new about those [Nazi] issues since the '30s but did NOTHING because we KNEW we couldn't defeat Germany yet. Am I a Nazi sympathizer? Hell NO! I think the Holocaust was a reprehensible tragedy and rather than single a solitary scape-goat, we should concentrate instead on never tolerating such heinous acts in the world again. Might I also add that numerous gruesome acts happen all over the world everyday and we ALL just simply turn a blind eye to it.
It is so good to see both the US and Germany holding true to solid principles and delivering this Ukrainian Nazi to the justice process. Both the US and germany are well aware of the need to bring Nazis to justice, for the horrific crimes they committed. They are very aware never to forget, never to let up, never to show misguided, dangerous sympathy for any Nazi, or any age, and origin, be they Ukrainian, German,Baltic or anywhere else. The US and Germany, help the world, in showing they don't forget the Nazis, however many years have passed. Well done! it is a fantastic simple message for our children. Once a Nazi, Always a Nazi, and we won't forget it. The US and Germany need to be always supremely vigilaant on this matter. Germany today is once again a strong honourable country, let it continue to shine bright and bring to justice any Nazis, past and present, from wherever their vile, evil, manifestations loom from. There is no excuse or justification, for being a Nazi. ever, and their is no place to hide from the free world, we will find you, we will destroy you, for all our sakes.
The German government should prosecute itself for the sponsorship of terrorism and ethnic cleansing of Serbs and Russians during the 90's especially against Serbs with the involvement in Krajina operation in 95 http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/news/smorg042409.html and creating the terrorist KLA help creating the terrorist state regime there. . Although you would have to include EU, Turkey, US and Middle Eastern countries and the mass media that go with the globalist lies and there agenda. Atta was a BND intelligence asset with connections with the CIA and MI6 so if we are to go along with the official 9/11 story were they indirectly responsible for 9/11.
