http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0811/scheungraberj.htmlA German court has sentenced a former Nazi army commander to life in prison for his role in the murder of 10 Italians in Tuscany in 1944.
After an 11-month trial, the Munich court found 90-year-old Josef Scheungraber guilty of ordering the murder of civilians in Falzano, Tuscany, as a reprisal for attacks by Italian partisans.
German-born Scheungraber, who spent decades after World War II as a free man in his hometown in the southern state of Bavaria, had denied the charges.

The case is one of Germany's last Nazi trials.
May he rot in Hell
