Throughout history, the Maniots—one of Greece's toughest populations—have been known by their neighbors and their enemies as fearless warriors who practice blood feuds.
Some vendettas went on for months and sometimes years.
The families involved would lock themselves in their towers and when they got the chance would murder members of the opposing family.
The Basque Country in the Late Middle Ages was ravaged by bitter partisan wars between local ruling families.
In Navarre, these conflicts became polarised in a violent struggle between the Agramont and Beaumont parties.
In Biscay, the two major warring factions were named Oinaz and Gamboa. (
the Guelphs and Ghibellines in Italy).
High defensive structures ("towers") built by local noble families, few of which survive today, were frequently razed by fires, sometimes by royal decree.
Leontiy Lyulye, an expert on conditions in the Caucasus, wrote in the mid-19th century: "Among the mountain people the blood feud is not an uncontrollable permanent feeling such as the vendetta is among the Corsicans.
It is more like an obligation imposed by the public opinion."
In the Dagestani aul Kadar, one such blood feud between two antagonistic clans lasted for nearly 260 years, from the 17th century till the 1860s.
An alternative to feud was blood money (or weregild in the  Norse culture), which demanded payment of some kind from those responsible for a wrongful death (even an accidental one).
If these payments were not made or were refused by the offended party, a blood feud would ensue.
Vendetta in modern times
Vendetta is reputedly still practiced in some areas in France (especially Corsica) and Italy (especially Sicily, Sardinia, Campania, Calabria, Apulia, and other areas of Southern Italy), in Crete (Greece), among Kurdish clans in Iraq and Turkey,In Turkey, a lone peacemaker ends many blood feuds, csmonitor.com in northern Albania, among Pashtuns in Afghanistan, among Somali clans, over land in Nigeria, in India (a caste-related feuds among rival Hindu groups),Broken People: Caste Violence Against India’s “Untouchables”, (Human Rights Watch Report, 1999) between rival tribes in the north-east Indian state of Assam, among rival clans in China and Philippines, among the Arab Bedouins and Arab tribes inhabiting the mountains of Yemen and between Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq, in southern Ethiopia,No guns at Ethiopian peace talks, BBC News among the highland tribes of New Guinea,  in Svaneti, in the mountainous areas of Dagestan, many northern areas of Georgia and Azerbaijan, a number of republics of the northern Caucasus and essentially among Chechen teips where those seeking retribution do not accept or respect the local law enforcement authority.
Vendettas are generally abetted by a perceived or actual indifference on behalf of local law enforcement.
In Albania, the blood feud has returned in rural areas after more than 40 years of being abolished by Albanian communists led by Enver Hoxha.
More than 5,500 Albanian families are currently engaged in blood feuds.
There are now more than 20,000 men and boys who live under an ever-present death sentence because of blood feuds.
Since 1992, at least 10,000 Albanians have been killed due to blood feuds.
Mutual vendetta may develop into a vicious circle of further killings, retaliation, counterattacks, and all-out warfare that can end in the mutual extinction of both families.
Often the original cause is forgotten, and feuds continue simply because it is perceived that there has always been a feud.
There is a scene in The Godfather, in which Michael Corleone, hiding from U.S. police in Sicily, walks through a village with his two bodyguards.
Michael asks, "Where are all the men?"
The bodyguard replies, "They're all dead from vendettas."
In the game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories by Rockstar, one of the main themes in the plot are continuous rivalries and vendettas between Italian Mafia families in Liberty City (based on New York City).

BBC: In pictures: Egypt vendetta ends May, 2005, One of the most enduring and bloody family feuds of modern times in Upper Egypt has ended with a tense ceremony of humiliation and forgiveness.
Police are very edgy.
After lengthy peace talks, no one knows if the penance - and a large payment of blood money - will end the vendetta which began in 1991 with a children's fight.

The Chinese Wikipedia (In Chinese: /) is the Chinese-language edition of Wikipedia.
This edition was started in October 24, 2002.
The Chinese Wikipedia can show the same article in many different scripts, in both Simplified and Traditional script.
In the English language, "Wikipedia" is a portmanteau word made by "Wiki" (A technology that allows many people working together) and "encyclopedia".
At first, "Wikipedia" did not have a Chinese name.
The site was called "Zhongwen Wikipedia" (中文Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia).
On October 21, 2003, Wikipedia's Chinese name "Weiji Baike" (维基百科/維基百科, meaning Weiji Encyclopedia) was decided by the Chinese wiki community (13 people voted).
The pronunciation of "Weiji" is like the pronunciation of "Wiki". "
Wei" (维/維) means rope that can link things, or net. "
Ji" (基) means basic, or base.
So "Weiji Baike" means "the encyclopedia on the Internet that covers human's all basic knowledge".

In mathematics, the empty set is the set that has nothing in it.
It is often written as , , .
For example, consider the set of integer numbers between two and three.
Since there is no integer between two and three, the set of integer numbers between them is empty.
Any statement about all elements of the empty set is automatically true.
For example, all integers between two and three are greater than seven.
This only makes sense because there are no integers between two and three.
This kind of truth is called vacuous truth.
Note that the symbol  comes from the Latin letter Ø, and not the Greek letter φ.
The empty set is also sometimes called the null set.
The 2009 Victorian bushfires also called Black Saturday, where more than 400 bushfires that started in Victoria, Australia on February 7, 2009.
The fires caused Australia's highest ever loss of life from a bushfire.
Police say that 173 people died, and 414  people were taken to hospitals with bad burns.
At first the death toll was thought to be 210, but forensic tests have shown there were 173 people killed and the death toll was revised.
The fires burnt down at least 2,029 homes, 3,500 buildings in total and damaged thousands.
Many towns north-east of the state capital Melbourne were badly damaged or almost completely destroyed, including the Victorian towns of Kinglake,  Marysville,  Narbethong,  Strathewen, and Flowerdale.
Many houses in the Victorian towns of Steels Creek, Humevale, Wandong,  St Andrews,  Callignee,  and Koornalla were also destroyed or damaged.
There were people killed at each town.
The fires affected 78 towns and left about 7,500 people homeless.
More than 4,000 firemen and women worked to control and stop the fires.
They were still burning more than two weeks after they started.
Most of the fires started and spread on a day of some of the worst bushfire weather ever recorded.
The temperature in Victoria reached 46 degrees Celsius and wind speed was more than 100 km/h. The wind blew the fires over large distances and areas, creating large firestorms.
North-east of Melbourne, a single firestorm killed 120 people.
A cool change hit the state in the early evening, but it had gale force south-westerly winds of more than 120 km/h. This change in wind direction caused the long eastern sides of the fires to become wide fire fronts that burned quickly towards towns that had earlier escaped the fires.
Many of the fires were started by fallen or clashing power lines or were deliberately lit.
There was also lightning, cigarette butts, and sparks from a power tool.
A ten-year drought made the land and forests very dry and they burnt quickly.
Finally, in early-mid March, the weather changed and the fire fighters were able to put out the fires.
Starting at the end of January, south east Australia had days of very hot weather, called a heatwave.
The heatwave was caused by a slow moving high-pressure system over the Tasman Sea, a big Tropical Cyclone off the north west Australian coast, and a monsoon trough over northern Australia.
This caused hot tropical air to travel down over south eastern Australia.
The February fires started on the hottest day ever in Victoria, where temperature records have been kept since 1859.
On 6 February 2009 – the day before the fires - Premier of Victoria John Brumby told people that very hot weather was coming, and that there was a big danger of bushfires.
He told people to be very careful.
Premier Brumby also said that it would be the "worst day of fire conditions in the history of the state".
Gippsland fires
At the end of January, there were fires in the Gippsland area of Victoria.
These included a small tree fire  near Delburn, Victoria and one which nearly burnt a pine tree plantation.
On 29 January, over 500 firemen fought the two fires at Delburn which had joined together into one big fire.
The fires had burnt  near Boolarra and Darlimurra, south of the city of Morwell.
No buildings were burnt.
A cool change in the weather on 30 January made it easier to fight the fires, but also made it windy, which led to spot fires (new, small fires from burning plants blown ahead).
On the evening of 31 January, fire crews worked to stop the fire spreading to the north.
They fought to protect the main power transmission lines taking electricity to Melbourne from the Latrobe Valley.
The fire was also close to the Hazelwood Power Station, Victoria.
By February 1, firemen had made fire breaks (clear areas) around the Boolarra fire, although it was still burning out of control.
The fire had burned through  and destroyed 29 houses, farm buildings and animals.
Police believed Delburn and Boolarra fires were deliberately lit.
They offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of people who lit the fires.
On February 2, lightning started 23 new fires.
This included three in the Bunyip State Park, and fires near Drouin West and Leongatha.
However, increased humidity helped stop the fires spreading.
On February 3, the Country Fire Authority grouped the fires into six areas.
Five fires were under control, but one, near Mirboo North, was not.
North and central
Kinglake fires
The Kinglake fire, was named when two fires joined together after the wind changed direction on February 7 and 8.
The fire had burned over  by February 8.
147 people died in the Kinglake fire.
The first of the two fires started at Kilmore East, Victoria, on the afternoon February 7 2009, and burned  south-east towards St. Andrews through Wandong and Clonbinane.
The fire destroyed 30 houses at Wandong and Heathcote Junction on February 7.
By February 8, 150 houses had been destroyed at Wandong, and four people killed.
The fire closed the Seymour railway line, and parts of the Hume Highway near Kilmore.
The north west winds blew the front of the fire towards St Andrews, before the weather changed about 7.30pm, changing the wind to the south west.
The wind change turned the long, narrow fire, into a wide fire front that moved north east to Kinglake and Strathewen.
By the evening of February 8, 100 people who had escaped the Kilmore fire, were sheltering in a basketball stadium at Wallan.
Many of them were unable to go back to their homes because the police had closed the roads.
The fire front burned through the Kinglake area on February 7.
This was the worst fire area in the state, with 37 people killed, and more than 550 houses destroyed.
Another 12 people died at Kinglake West, and in Strathewen, 27.
The second fire destroyed the town of Marysville, Victoria.
It started north of Marysville, and at first people thought it would go around the town, but within minutes the town was an inferno.
At about 5.00pm, electric power was lost, and the wind stopped.
Minutes later the wind came back from a different direction, bringing the fire up the valley with it.
Damage to the water treatment plant at Marysville made the water unsafe to drink.
On February 11, it was said that 100 people of the town's population of 500 were believed to have died, and that only a few buildings were left.
Premier Brumby said: "There's no activity, there's no people, there's no buildings, there's no birds, there's no animals, everything's just gone."
These numbers were later revised, but 40 people did die, and nearly every building in the town was damaged or destroyed.
About 95% of the houses in Narbethong  were destroyed.
Other towns affected by the same fire included Taggerty and Buxton.
To the south west, the fire was burning on three sides of Yarra Glen, Victoria, trapping people in the town.
Houses north of Yarra Glen were destroyed and large areas of grass lands were burnt.
For some time, the police believed that someone lit the fire that burnt Marysville, and several people were investigated.
However, in June 2011, Victoria Police announced that this was probably not the cause.
Maroondah/Yarra fires
The Maroondah/Yarra fire was named on February 10, when several fires that had been burning to the east of Healesville, Victoria and Toolangi joined together.

The fire destroyed buildings at Mudgegonga, Victoria, south east of Beechworth; 2 people died.
Thick smoke and clouds made it hard to work out the size of the Beechworth fire.
Strong winds fed the fire on the night of February 8, and lightning started a new fire at Kergunyah around midday on February 9.
More than 440 firemen worked to stop a new fire that threatened Gundowring, and Eskdale, Victoria after it jumped the Kiewa River.
On the night of February 9, the greatest danger was to Eskdale.
Fires were also burning in pine plantations  from the large town of Myrtleford, at the opposite, western end of the fire area.
While smaller towns to the east, including Gundowring and Kergunyah, were still threatened, the CFA said that there was no immediate danger to the larger towns of Beechworth and Yackandandah, on the northern edge of the fire area.
By February 10, firemen had completed a  fire break around the Beechworth fire, and were trying to make  more, as the fire still was burning out of control.
By the afternoon, the fire threat had been downgraded, but firemen were fighting a new fire near Koetong, Victoria, east of the main Beechworth fire, of between  to .

The fire came close to the Loy Yang Power Station, and the station's open-cut coal mine.
On the night of February 7, the fire approached the mine's overburden dump, but did not damage anything and did not stop the station's operations.
Several small fires broke out in the bunker storing coal from the mine, but were contained with no damage.
The threat eased by the evening of February 8, as temperatures cooled and some light rain fell.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology used to record the presence of an object using radio signals.
It is used for inventory control or timing sporting events.
RFID is not a replacement for barcoding, but a complement for distant reading of codes.
The technology is used for automatically identifying a person, a package or an item.
To do this, it relies on RFID tags.
These are small transponders (combined radio receiver and transmitter) that will transmit identity information over a short distance, when asked.
The other piece to make use of RFID tags is an RFID tag reader.
An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves.
Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
Most tags carry a plain text inscription and a barcode as complements for direct reading and for cases of any failure of radio frequency electronics.
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts.
One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and de-modulating a radio-frequency (RF) signal, and other specialized functions.
The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal.
General transport (logistics), tracking a package, parcel; replacing barcodes
Tracking vehicles for road toll
Many countries have started using RFID chips in passports
Making products harder to falsify; currently proposed for drugs
Tags in clothing, e.g. in Jeans
Sealing for containers (for the shipping industry).
Not required yet.
Identifying animals; used for tracking pets, but also for research, for example on turtles.
Keys for vehicles.
The vehicle key has an RFID tag inside; only the key with the right RFID tag can start the vehicle (this makes copying vehicle keys harder).
Also used for locking/unlocking vehicles from a far distance.
Contact-less identity cards, for example to regulate entry into certain areas; also used for ticketing, or public transport
Transponder timing of sporting events.
Marking attendance of students

Opal was the 9th hurricane of the highly active 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
Opal was the strongest hurricane of the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
It crossed the Yucatán Peninsula while still a tropical depression from September 27,  then strengthened northward in the Gulf, becoming the most powerful Category 4 Atlantic hurricane before making a second landfall, October 4, in the Florida Panhandle near Pensacola as a 125-mph (201-km/h) hurricane.
Opal devastated the Pensacola/Panhandle area with a 15-ft (5-m) storm surge  and travelled up the entire state of Alabama, becoming a tropical storm in Tennessee.
Opal also caused heavy damage in the mid-Atlantic states before dissipating.
Afterward, 50 people had died from flooding by Opal in Guatemala and Mexico, with another 13 deaths in the United States directly or indirectly related to Opal.
Preliminary damage estimates were $3 billion.
The beginning of this storm started from a tropical wave that moved off of Africa on September 11.
It disappeared into a low pressure while in the Caribbean Sea several days later.
The wave was found again on September 27 and was good enough to become Tropical Depression Eighteen.
Tropical Depression Eighteen made landfall in the Yucatán Peninsula shortly afterword.
On September 30 Tropical Depression Eighteen strengthened into Tropical Storm Opal.
Tropical Storm Opal continued west until October 2.
On October 2 it turned northeast and strengthened into Hurricane Opal.
After that Hurricane Opal strengthened fast and reached it's top winds of 150 mph (making it a category 4) on October 4, only two days after becoming a hurricane.
Hurricane Opal continued northeast and weakened a little and made its last landfall in Santa Rosa Island, Florida on October 4 while a category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Opal became a tropical storm over central Alabama and did not weaken to a tropical depression till it was in Tennessee.
Tropical Depression Opal  became extratropical over the Ohio River Valley on October 5th.
The name "Opal" was retired in the spring of 1996.
In 2001, the name "Olga" was used instead, Olga was also used in 2007, and could be used in 2013.

Hurricane Charley was the second hurricane and also the second major hurricane (category 3+) of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.
Charley lasted from August 9 to August 15.
Its strongest winds were 150 mph (240 km/h), classifying it as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
The storm made landfall in southwestern Florida.
It was the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew, twelve years earlier.
In the United States, Charley caused ten deaths and $15.4 billion in damage (2004 USD).
The destruction from Hurricane Charley
Charley did its damage in a very similar manner to Andrew: high winds caused almost all the damage, and both storms made landfall at low tide, preventing the storm surges from causing damage like they usually do when hurricanes make landfall.
Both were compact storms upon landfall.

Mokujin is a character made for the Tekken series.
It first appeared in Tekken 3.
Mokujin has been kept in a museum for a long time, but when Ogre woke up, Mokujin started to move.
Some people say that it wakes up every once in a while to help martial artists but only God and Mokujin know.
(Mokujin) fun fact- watch the movie Shaolin Wooden Men (Jackie Chan circa 1976) and you'll see "mokujin" in the 2nd.
part of the opening sequence long before tekken began in 1994!

Mokujin started to move all of a sudden two years ago, but ceased moving after Ogre was defeated by Jin Kazama.
When returned to the museum, Mokujin's face seemed to be smiling.

They dig a small burrow in the forest floor, and covers it with a dirt trapdoor.
The spider lurks in its burrow with the door half-open, until something to eat walks by without knowing that the spider is watching.
Then the trapdoor spider pounces, drags the prey into its trap, and slams the trapdoor shut.

Von Arendt worked as a stage designer; he joined the SS in 1931 and the NSDAP in 1932.
The same year, he was one of the people who started the "Bund nationalsozialistischer Bühnen- und Filmkünstler" ("Union of national-socialist stage and movie artists"), which was later called "Kameradschaft deutscher Künstler" ("fellowship of German artists") after Hitler began to rule Germany in 1933.
Von Arent was made "Reichsbühnenbildner" ("Reich stage designer") in 1936 and "Reichsbeauftragter für die Mode" ("Reich agent for fashion") in 1939.
In 1944, he was given the rank of SS-Oberführer (senior colonel).
Heinz Auerswald (July 26, 1908 – December 5, 1970) was a lawyer and member of the SS in Nazi Germany, which he joined in 1933.
He was "Kommissar für den jüdischen Wohnbezirk" ("Commissioner for the Jewish Residential District") in Warsaw, Poland from April 1941 to November 1942.

Erich Julius Eberhard von Zelewski or Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski (1 March 1899 – 8 March 1972), was a Nazi leader and a member of the SS, where he had the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer.
Although he was involved in the killing of thousands of people in Poland and Russia, he was never charged with war crimes.
His parents were Otto Jan Józefat von Zelewski, a Roman Catholic, and his wife Elisabeth Eveline Schimansky, a Lutheran.
His name when he was born was Erich Julius Eberhard von Zelewski.
He later changed his last name to add "von dem Bach" in the 1930s.
He removed "Zelewski" from his name in November 1941 because of its Polish sound.
He was born in Lauenburg, in Pomerania, in the old German Empire (now called Lębork, Poland), on 1 March 1899.
His family did not have very much money during his childhood.
His father was often out of work.
When his father died on April 17, 1911, in Dortmund, he was employed as an insurance clerk.
His father's lack of success was partly because he was the brother of Emil von Zalewski, the leader of a colonial force fighting in Tanzania.
On August 17, 1891, he and his men were killed in the battle of Rugarto, described as being like a German Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
This death and defeat brought great shame to the family.
Erich would later restore his family's position in the community.
After his father's death, his uncle Oskar von Zalewski, a soldier, became very close to Erich and told Erich to become a soldier.
In November 1914 Erich von Zalewski asked to join the Prussian army, and was one of the youngest soldiers and remained a soldier fighting for the army until the end of World War I. He was wounded twice, and was given the Cross of Honor (Ehrenkreuz) and then Iron Cross.
After the war, he stayed in the army and fought in the Silesian Uprisings, where he earned a reputation (what other people believe about a person) for courage.
He was given more medals.
In 1924, he joined Grenzschutz (border guards).
On October 23, 1925, he changed his last name to `von dem Bach-Zalewski`.
He left the Grenzschutz in 1930, when he joined the Nazi Party, becoming a member of the SS in 1931.
He was quickly promoted and by the end of 1933 had reached the rank of SS-Brigadeführer.
However, he quarreled with his staff officer Anton von Hohberg und Buchwald.
He was a member of the Reichstag from 1932 to 1944, he took part in the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, and had Anton von Hohberg und Buchwald murdered.
He served in many Nazi party jobs, first in East Prussia and after 1936 in Silesia.
By 1937 he had become the Höherer SS- und Polizeiführer (HSSPF – Higher SS and Police Leader) in Silesia.
After the war started, units under his command took part in revenge and in the shooting of POWs during the September Campaign, but von dem Bach was not there in person.
On 7 November 1939, the SS chief Heinrich Himmler asked him if he wanted the job of Commissioner for the Strengthening of Germandom in  Silesia.
His duty was to force people to leave and to take their property.
By August 1940, his units had forced more than 20,000 Żywiec families to leave their homes.
In late 1939, he suggested starting a concentration camp for the non-German people who lived in the town of Oświęcim.
Heinrich Himmler agreed to von dem Bach's suggestion and in May 1940 the Auschwitz concentration camp opened.
Getting higher rank
On 22 June 1941, von dem Bach-Zelewski became HSSPF in the Heeresgruppe Mitte (Army Group Center); in July 1943, he became commander of the "Bandenkämpfverbände" ("Band-fighting Units"), that carried out the mass murder of 35,000 people in Riga and more than 200,000 in Belarus and eastern Poland.
The government was going to make him the future HSSPF in Moscow; however, the Wehrmacht did not get into the city.
Until 1943, von dem Bach-Zalewski  was the HSSPF in command of "anti-partisan" units on the central front, a special command created by Adolf Hitler.
Von dem Bach-Zalewski was the only HSSPF in the Soviet areas taken over by the Germans to have real authority over the police after Hans-Adolf Prützmann and Jockeln lost theirs to the civil government.
In February 1942, he was put into hospital, which he would later say was due to a nervous breakdown because of the ethnic cleansing in Belarus, and the genocide of the Jews.
Radio signals overheard by British intelligence say, however, that his illness was physical.
He went back to his job in July, with no reduction seen in his actions.
In June 1942, after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, Adolf Hitler wanted von dem Bach-Zelewski to take Heydrich's job as Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia.
When Himmler said that von dem Bach-Zelewski was needed due to the situation in Belarus, Hitler let him stay and gave the job to Kurt Daluege.
On 12 July 1943, von dem Bach-Zalewski was given command of all anti-partisan efforts in Belgium, Belarus, France, the General Government, the Netherlands, Norway, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and parts of the Bialystok District.
In reality he remained only in  Belarus and the area of Russia near Belarus.
Fighting on the front line
In 1944, von dem Bach-Zalewski took part in front line fighting in the Kovel area, but in March had to go to Germany for medical treatment.
Himmler took over all his jobs.
On 2 August 1944, he took command of all soldiers fighting against the Warsaw Uprising as Korpsgruppe Bach.
Units under his command killed about 200,000 people including more than 65,000 executions, and an unknown number of POWs.
After more than two months of heavy fighting and the total destruction of Warsaw he then was able to control the city.
For what he did in Warsaw, the Nazi Government gave him the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on September 30, 1944.

Von dem Bach-Zelewski went into hiding and tried to leave the country.
However, US military police arrested him on 1 August, 1945.
Because he told the Allies what he knew about his former bosses at the Nuremberg Trials, von dem Bach-Zelewski  never went to trial himself for any war crimes.
He also did not have to go back to Poland or to the USSR to be tried.
He left prison in 1949.
In 1951, von dem Bach-Zalewski said that he had helped Hermann Göring kill himself in 1946.
To make people believe this he showed them the cyanide with serial numbers like the ones that were on the cyanide that Göring used.
This was never proven.
Today people who study history do not believe this happened.
Also in 1951, von dem Bach was told he would go to a work prison for ten years for the murder of people in the early 1930s; but he did not go until 1958, when he was found guilty of killing Anton von Hohberg und Buchwald, an SS officer on the Night of the Long Knives and was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
In 1961, he received an extra ten years where he had to stay in his home all the time for the murder of ten German Communists in the early 1930s.
He never went to prison for crimes during the war even though he openly said he murdered Jews.
He died in a Munich prison on 8 March 1972.
