We handed you Nazi war criminal on silver platter

US Nazi hunters say it was "scandalous" that Scotland failed to prosecute the notorious war criminal Anton Gecas.

Investigators in Washington claim they delivered Nazi Gecas "on a silver platter" and are angry he was never convicted.

Gecas was accused of commanding Nazi death squads that murdered 32,000 civilians, yet he was allowed to live freely in Edinburgh until his death aged 85 in 2001.

He was a commander with the 12th Lithuanian Battalion, which slaughtered with such savagery even German administrators spoke of their "extreme beastliness".

Witnesses say Gecas gave orders in one of the most infamous massacres of the war when thousands of Jewish and Russian men, women and children were murdered in the town of Slutsk, in Belarus, over two days.
