Léon Degrelle

Léon Joseph Marie Ignace Degrelle (; 15 June 1906 – 31 March 1994) was a Belgian politician and one of the most important Nazi collaborators and Holocaust denialists

His repeated statements on the topic of Nazi genocide brought Degrelle to trial with Violeta Friedman, a Romanian-born survivor of the camps. Although lower courts were initially favourable to Degrelle, the Supreme Court of Spain decided he had offended the memory of the victims, both Jews and non-Jews, and sentenced him to pay a substantial fine. Asked if he had any regrets about the war, his reply was "Only that we lost!"

Death
In 1994, Léon Degrelle died of cardiac arrest in a hospital in Málaga.
