Did people hunt down & kill Nazis after the war for personal revenge?

by SquireCD

I know there are groups / organizations that "hunt" for Nazi war criminals, but these organizations mean to exact justice via the law.

I'm wondering if there have been any, many, famous or not cases that an individual or group hunted down specific Nazis, found them, and took their own revenge.

It seems like this must have happened, but I can't find any thing about it.

The Mossad conducted operations that were definitely not considered legal by the majority of countries. However, the only operation I can think of which involved an actual assassination was the assassination of Herbert Cukurs in Uruguay.

Perhaps not entirely what you're asking for, but in Denmark, a country which had been occupied by the Germans for most of the war, people sought out girls who had fallen in love with German soldiers. They would then publically shame them, cut off their hair, call them "field matresses" and a number of other not so nice things.

AFAIK no girls were actually killed though.
