Walther Rauff

nazi Germany

Walther Rauff was a German Nazi officer known for his role in developing mobile gas chambers during the Holocaust, which were used to murder thousands of Jews. After World War II, he managed to evade capture and fled to South America, eventually settling in Chile, where he lived under an assumed identity and worked in the fishing industry. His notorious legacy resurfaced in contemporary discussions about the impunity of war criminals, particularly in relation to Chile's dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.
