WWII Nazi guard faces deportation
CHICAGO, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- A judge in Chicago says a Wisconsin man who served as a Nazi guard during World War II should be deported.

Josias Kumpf, 82, of Caledonia, Wis., also is an illegal U.S. citizen, officials said.

Records indicate Kumpf was at the Trawniki camp in Poland during or shortly after a mass execution of up to 8,000 prisoners on Nov. 3, 1943.

In his ruling, Immigration Judge Jennie L. Giambastiani said Kumpf's service as a Nazi guard proved he was "actively and personally involved in the persecution of others."

Kumpf admitted that he remained when the corpses were burned but he denied shooting anyone, He said he was forced to take part or be killed himself.

If he is deported, he will go to Germany, his choice, Austria or Serbia, his birthplace which was Yugoslavia at the time, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
