In this country we jail people who report war crimes and protect those who commit atrocities.
That's probably because he burnt them all...The phrase 'throw the book at him' has, to my knowledge, not been used. But yes, if a crime has been committed and the defendant is fit to stand trial, then there's no reason it shouldn't happen.
What a ridiculous reply.But how far back would you be happy to go.?
Would you be happy to find that maybe your great, great grandfather committed rape and murder of Australian aborigines two hundred odd years ago and that
your good name would / could be tarnished?
There's only ever going to be losers here and that sadly is for his innocent relatives and family bloodline.
I'm sure we all have some evil ghosts amongst our ancestors depending on how far we turn back the clock.
Not at that level they weren’t as this is why the Nuremberg excuse was so utterly dismissed. The SS weren’t the Wehrmacht so in order to be in the SS you had to be a zealot of the party and it’s ideology.I’d expect a fair few were following orders
They were not soldiers the SS were a completely separate branch.yeah I get that but those guards were soldiers and soldiers generally don’t get to pick their own
Have you met him?How will it be a fair trial — prisoner won’t have all his faculties so it’s kind of slanted. Agreed on all those involved should be convicted but unfortunately the law has changed over the years so killers etc can get away with things.
Did not know that, fair enough I stand corrected.They were not soldiers the SS were a completely separate branch.
They all took a blood oath.
Roofie, that's brought tears to my eyes.In 2007 I interviewed a lady who was 97 and had been interned by the Nazis in Treblinka Death Camp.
She was stripped and placed in prisoners clothing - with the Star of David sewn on the top.
She was a mother in her 30s when she had the Nazi`s number tatooed on her arm.
She survived and managed to escape joining the pile of bones and corpses of the murdered innocents.
I was amazed at how articulate she was and how vivid and detailed her description of the camp and how she was treated.
The notion that being old makes the former Nazi almost senile is crap.
For her sake I pray he goes on trial.
Whilst he has lead a stable life - the families who lost a generation to the firepits, firing squads and Zyklon B, have had to endure the nightmare over, and over, and over, again.
Justice does not just have to be seen to be done.
It has to be done for the sake of humanity.

Spot on. If he is guilty he needs to spend whats left of his time behind bars. Justice and history demands it.In 2007 I interviewed a lady who was 97 and had been interned by the Nazis in Treblinka Death Camp.
