12. Franz Stangl

The former commander of Sobibór and Treblinka death camps almost managed to avoid justice for his monstrous crimes. After the war, he was arrested but managed to escape using ratlines with the help of Bishop Alois Hudal, first to Syria and later to Brazil. Despite the fact that he never changed his name, he managed to remain at large, until Simon Wiesenthal tracked him down in 1967. After that, he was extradited and charged with the murder of 900,000 prisoners in Sobibór and Treblinka. Stangl was sentenced to life in prison but died six months into his sentence.

11. Ilse Koch

The Witch of Buchenwald, as Ilse Koch was known among the prisoners in Buchenwald, was a wife of the camp commander Karl-Otto Koch. While Karlo-Otto was remembered as just another run of the mill Nazi monster, Ilse did her best to make her stay in Buchenwald a memorable one, by forcing prisoners to participate in experiments conducted by her friend, Dr. Erich Wagner. She was sentenced to a life in prison. Ilse Koch committed suicide in 1967.
