Criminel de guerre nazi au Minnesota?

Michael Karkoc, menuisier du Minnesota à la retraite, a-t-il donné l'ordre en 1944 de détruire un village de Pologne tuant au passage des civils? La question est soulevée depuis qu'on a découvert un témoignage d'une enquête en Ukraine. Karkoc vit aux États-Unis depuis 1949 et il est âgé de 94 ans.

 "A German roster of the unit confirms that Pvt. Ivan Sharko, a Ukrainian, served under Karkoc's command at the time.

An initial order was given by a separate officer, Sharko testified, before Karkoc told his unit to attack the village.

 "The command was given by one of the commanders to cordon off the village and prepare for battle," Sharko said, according to the Russian-language investigative file, which bears the stamp of Ukraine's Volyn regional prosecutors' office. "The commander of our company, Wolf, also gave the command to cordon off the village and check all the houses, and to find and punish the partisans." Karkoc fought under the wartime nom de guerre "Wolf," and he wrote a 1995 Ukrainian-language war memoir under both his real name and the pseudonym "Wolf.""
