Police investigating suspect in WWII massacre - Yahoo! News German authorities have searched the residence of an 89-year-old former member of the Nazis' paramilitary SS suspected of taking part in the 1945 massacre of more than 60 Jews in Austria, police said Wednesday. State police in North Rhine-Westphalia told The Associated Press they are now evaluating documents seized from the residence of the man — identified only as Adolf S. — as part of their investigation into his involvement in the massacre in the village of Deutsch Schuetzen, southeast of Vienna. The man is suspected of being one of three SS men who massacred some 60 Hungarian-Jewish slave laborers in March 1945, just weeks before the end of World War II, police said. He is also believed to have shot in the back a Jew who could no longer walk during a march from Deutsch Schuetzen to Hartberg in Austria, police said later in a statement. The remains of the victims of the Deutsch Schuetzen massacre were found in 1995 in a mass grave by the Austrian Jewish association. A plaque now marks the site.
