    On TV I saw that the only major nazi war criminal "on the loose" is Alois Brunner.

    As Adolf Eichmans right hand, he is responsible for the death of over 60.000 jews during WW2.

    Apparently he hides in Syria.It's not totally clear wether he is still alive(93 years old).
    Some sources claimed he died, but recently it was found out that he was probably still alive.
    Several european countries have pressed Syria to hand him over, but without any sucess.

    There was also some trial lately in Italy where a SS officer was acused of having killed hundreds of civilians in an anti-partisan operation.

    But generally, SS, Wehrmacht or civilian criminals of lower ranks were not really searched for by allied or post war german justice.
