The Nazis have come up in the news again.  No group in the history of mankind has such a reputation and stank of evil as the National Socialists, except perhaps Zoobilee Zoo and their commune of Dr. Moreau abominations and sing-song insanity.  I want to take a break from my usual self to report on a story that I initially read on CNN.com that spoke of a son’s life mission to redeem his family name from the specter of Nazism.

Nazi hunters have a short list of German war criminals that they are still pursuing 60 years after the war in the hope of bringing them to international justice and completing the healing that began in the Nuremberg Trials.  A large number of the upper and middle command layers fled Germany at the end of the war and have eluded justice for decades.  Famously, Otto Eichmann, architect of the Final Solution, was captured in 1960 by Nazi Hunters.  There are others that could still be avoiding capture.  One of these, a notorious Nazi doctor, Aribert Heim is still on the list.  He is infamously known as Dr. Death.

Dr. Death was one of the most hated men in WWII for his crimes against humanity in the concentration camps. Dr. Heim fled Germany in 1962 as Nazi hunters were closing in on him and his assumed identity.  He is not to be confused with Dr. Josef Mengele, who was known as the Angel of Death.

Recently, Dr. Aribert Heim’s son returned to Germany after forty years of living anonymously in Argentina to address the legacy and unclaimed fortune of his father.  His son, Dr. Ruediger Heim, wishes his father declared legally dead, the man hunt to cease, the Jewish commandos returned to Israel.

Here is a picture of Dr. Ruediger Heim, taken upon his return from South America:

Dr. Ruediger Heim insists that there is no evidence that the Nazi war criminal is still alive and that all suggestions that he is are completely ludicrous.  LuckyRob.com investigated further.  When I called and spoke to Heim the Younger, he stated:

“Ja, Ja!  I have nacht scheen mein vater in long time!  Please tell them to schtop looking for me … I meant him.”

With further investigation, I interviewed Hans Himmler of the German Public Records about the return of Dr. Aribert Heim’s son.  Apparently, there was no record of Aribert having a son.  But in his defense, Hans stated:

“Ja, it is true that ve have no record of Doktor Heim having a son, but it is possible dat he was born in Argentina.  The Argentine Juntas have an international reputation of law und order.  It can only be assumed dat dis man is who he says he is.  I know for a fact dat he is not Dr. Aribert Heim … if anyone vas asking. I mean, honestly, they look nothing alike.  Afterall, Ruediger has a funny nose, mustache, und glasses.”

Aribert Heim was a wealthy doctor and war profiteer and his fortune remains untouchable as long as he is considered alive, held in absentia by German banks.  Only when he is considered legally dead will his fortune be divided among his living heirs as an inheritance.  According to Ruediger, his father Aribert amassed a huge fortune of gold through completely, legitimate means.  German authorities inventoried the inheritance and indicated that it is mostly in the form of Jewish religious iconography, pocket watches, and family heirlooms.

Ruediger Heim promises that the money will be used for altruistic causes, stating:

“If Deutschland government give me back gold, den I give some to Juden.  I schwear I vill give some back.  Und I vill look to other humanitarian causes, such as Palestinian armanent und the Mel Gibson legal defense fund.”  The combined worth of his father’s estate is estimated at over $1.78 million.

Since his return to his native homeland, Dr. Ruediger and his business partner and long-time associate, Buster Goering, have opened a chain of adult shops in the Berlin area, called Heim & Busters, specializing in gimp apparel and Lycra body suits.
