A former member of the Hitler Youth, now living in Canada, is being interviewed in connection to murder charges against a 90-year-old former member of the Nazi SS. The accused man, who lives in Austria, has been identified as Adolf Storms. He, along with other SS accomplices, are alleged to have murdered at least 57 Jewish slave labourers near the Austrian village of Deutsch Schuetzen on March 29, 1945. Storms allegedly shot another Jew himself during a forced walk the following day. Three former members of the Hitler Youth, who helped oversee the walk, have given witness statements in Austria. A fourth former Hitler Youth, the unnamed Canadian, is being interviewed this week.
