Michael Karkoc is wanted in Poland for 'liquidating' a village while he was an SS commander. His son says he gave to the RNC simply because he loves the party.

A Minnesota man accused of committing war crimes when he commanded a Nazi-led unit during World War II contributed thousands of dollars to the Republican National Committee, a Daily Beast review of federal campaign records found.
Michael Karkoc is wanted for arrest in Poland after the countrys war crimes prosecutors said they are 100 percent certain that Karkoc commanded a SS company and that there was no doubt that his men razed two Polish villages, killing 40 civilians. In July, Poland requested Karkocs extradition from the U.S. and is waiting for a decision. (The Justice Department said it does not comment on extradition requests.)
In June 2013, the Associated Press reported Karkoc was a SS officer and that one of his men told Soviet investigators that his unit had been ordered to liquidate all the residents of the village of Chlaniow, Poland, resulting in the deaths of men, women and children.
After the AP published its exposé, Karkoc made three separate contributions to the Republican National Committee totaling $3,850 between September 2013 and May 2014. These are the only federal campaign contributions he has made, according to available records.

It just drives home the fact that if you are a Nazi, you are certain to also be a Republican.
