? · Answer

There is no statute of limitations on war crimes.
In fact the US recently extradited a NAZI war criminal that we found hiding in the US back to Germany to face trial.

Gypsyfish · Answer

There is a statute of limitations in the US for certain crimes, but not for murder. And it doesn't apply to international crimes anyway. But there aren't many Nazis left alive. If they were 20 in 1939, they'd be 102 today.

Statues are different in every country, and also different for every crime.

In many, if not most cases, Nazi war crimes are not covered under them.
