Complications: John Demjanjuk is Suspected of Running Over a Jew after the War
The prosecution in Germany is investigating suspicions that Demjanjuk was involved in the murder of another man, two years after the war.
"A probe is under way to investigate allegations that he crashed into someone on purpose in 1947," a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in the southeastern city of Ulm, Michael Bischofberger, told AFP today (Monday). He said the now 89-year-old Demjanjuk was employed as a driver by the Allies in Germany after World War II. "We are trying to obtain more precise information from Ludwigsburg on where the accused was employed at the time," Bischofberger said, referring to the federal office investigating Nazi-era crimes.
The German prosecutor refused to give details of the investigation, however some German media reported that the victim was apparently a Jew; it is unclear whether this was the motive for attack.
Demjanjuk himself argues emphatically that at the end of the war he stayed in a refugee camp northeast of Munich and was drafted into the ranks of the U.S. military. Demjanjuk served in various bases throughout Germany until 1951, when he left the country and emigrated to the United States.
Demjanjuk went on trial in the southern German city of Munich last month accused of helping to murder 27,900 people while a guard at the Sobibor death camp in German-occupied Poland in 1943.

The Mission Continues As in the past so it remains today - we were and still are under the selfsame commitment to adhere to the directions of the Gedolei Yisrael, who stand guard against breaches of purity threatening our camp. When we were required to ask – we asked. When we were instructed to depart – we left. The moment we are summoned back to raise the flag, every other consideration is pushed to the side and we answer: We are ready!
The Command, and the Retreat In light of the comments recently made by Gedolei Yisrael, shlita, "Etrog" – a site that is completely free of lashon hara – has decided to discontinue its services on the internet. From this moment on, there will be no news or other informative postings on the portal
