good talk
On the PBS, was a biographic of Nicolaus "Klaus" Barbie, the highly-successful commandant of the Gestapo, in Lyon, France, from 1942 to 1944. Responsible for the deaths of 14 thou, Barbie would personally torture and kill them. Protected and paid after the War for his intelligence-expertise, by the Americans, then the W. Germans, spirited to S. America, the Bolivian Government, rising to Lt. Col. Deported to France for trial as a war criminal in 1983, when a democratic-regime came to power, Klaus' trial began in 1984. Some old Jew who had witnessed Barbie's actions in Lyon, said that he smirked then as he was doing at his trial, "laughing at the world". Sure looked that way. In Sam Peckinpah's 1969 blood and guts classic, "The Wild Bunch", the outlaws are thinking of their next endeavor ...Fort Supply gets their payroll the end of the month... ...Information like that is mighty hard to come by...
