052540P.pdf   03/07/2006  United States  v.  John Hansl
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2540
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Denaturalization. The district court did not err in granting
   the United States' motion to revoke Hansl's citizenship; Hansl's admitted
   conduct as a member of the Death Head's Battalion, guarding the
   perimeters of the Sachsenhausen and Natzweiler concentration camps
   while armed, issuing orders and threatening to shoot anyone who
   attempted to leave the camps, was more than sufficient to prove he
   personally assisted in the persecution of a group of persons based on their
   race, religion or national origin within the meaning of the Refugee Relief
   Act of 1953; fact that Hansl was conscripted into the Waffen SS does not
   change this analysis.
