Friedrich Engel, a former Nazi SS officer known as the "Butcher of Genoa", has died at the age of 97.

He was buried in a private ceremony in the German city of Hamburg last week, according to the prosecutor's office.

Engel earned his "butcher" nickname for his alleged part in the wartime massacre of 59 Italian prisoners.

In 2002 a Hamburg court found him guilty of murder, but the ruling was overturned by a higher court which cited insufficient evidence.

6. I agree, but a 97 year old isn't as much of a threat as a young neo-nazi

The kind who leave racist pamphlets in my driveway when my black friend stays overnight. Anyone who still worships nazi ideology in this day and age is a threat once they start to act on it.

The pamphlet had a phone number-I almost called it to leave an anonymous message that I will shoot anyone I catch leaving filth like that in my driveway, but I figured I'd end up being the one getting arrested in that scenario, for making threats.

Plus, I don't have a gun, and they probably have tons of them.

7. "isn't as much of a threat..."
