In 1945, Babor was arrested and taken prisoner by the French, and spent several months in a camp before being returned to Vienna, Austria. He finished his studies without being arrested until 1952, when he was identified by former deportees at Gross-Rosen. He fled from Vienna and Austria, and was later found in Ethiopia. In the meantime, his wife returned to Germany and denounced him. She contacted Simon Wiesenthal, who alerted the world press (in 1963).[2]
Babor died without being found: his body was recovered in January 1964 from a river infested with crocodiles. Police found that he had a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.[3][4][5]
