A leading Nazi-hunter has called on the Danish government to arrest a 90-year-old suspected war criminal.
Efraim Zuroff, Israel director of the Wiesenthal Centre, submitted a claim against Helmuth Leif Rasmussen, who now calls himself Helmuth Rasboel, on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Zuroff made the submission after finding a book which claimed that Rasmussen was in the “inner circle” of an SS group running a death camp in Belarus.
Mr Zuroff claimed that the 90-year-old was one of 6,000 Danes who volunteered to serve in the SS.
