enginering grounds

Lьftl was elected to represent 4000 austrian Architects and Construction engineers and was for years a court approved expert
witness in cases involving engineering matters. Simon Wiesenthal and his friends in the media agitated, till the highly
respected head of his own engineering firm was dismissed from his post. He had circulated privately what has since been

Criminally charged and prosecuted as a "war criminal" in Canada.
Background and contribution:
A retired Hungarian police captain, Finta was accused by Sabina Citron and others for allegedly persecuting
Jews in Hungary during the war. After lengthy legal battles, he was ultimately acquitted by unanimous jury
verdict when Ernst Zьndel's attorneys, Doug Christie and Barbara Kulaszka, took over his defense and won his victory in
court. The jurors obviously did not believe the many Israeli and Jewish eye-witnesses!

health.

circulation tabloid style newspaper. The German vassal regime came down hard on the old soldier. He was tried and convicted
to prison. He went into exile in Spain, wheelchair-bound, where he died. His widow now has to fight for her pension. She

criminal" - from Frank Walus to Dr. Arthur Rudolf to Mr. Bartesch. He was of immense help to John
Demjanjuk. Due to the tireless work of this saintly man, Walus and Demjanjuk won their cases in the end. Brentar spent almost
$500,000 of his own funds to help pay for the lawyers' fees, translators, flights, hotel accommodations, meals, and witness
fees. He lost his once thriving Travel Agency because of the vicious publicity engendered, and now lives at the edge of
poverty in forced retirement on his social security pension. Zьndel researcher, advisor and witness in the 1985 Great
