A former top Nazi colonel was arrested on Saturday from the Khanapur forests on the Karnataka-Goa border.

Col Johann Bach, a high-ranking officer in Hitler’s elite Waffen SS (Schutzstaffel), was absconding for more than 50 years. He had moved into Calangute in Goa a few months back and had settled down under a fake identity.
But the 88-year-old Bach’s activities in Calangute betrayed him and soon the intelligence wing of Perus Narkp, the Berlin-based German Chancellor’s Core, was on his trail.

The German sleuths, assisted by Indian intelligence men, managed to zero in on Bach on Friday morning in Bardesh region of Goa. Bach tried to give them a slip. But the German sleuths finally managed to nab Bach after a 36-hour hot chase in the Khanapur forests on Saturday.
