And Soros the nazi walks free.
My point is it’s difficult to get any measure of justice from a 95 year old man for a crime 75 years ago. The punishment of an early departure to hell seems to not have much value as he’s already lived a full life.
Hell, he lived 25 years longer than my WW2 vet father did. You can take the last couple of years from him... makes a nice pair of antlers for the wall, but it’s not justice.

I'm of the opnion that the justice department recent behavior is pretty much an indication that they just may be something like Nazis themselves...
“willing service as an armed guard of prisoners” ........................ or else you can serve better on the eastern front and die. Zo,vich vould you like? You really do not have choice. (Think now as if it was you, what would you choose, duty at home or in the meat grinder?) A 19 yr. old during those days had to do what he was ordered or else. Any of us would chose survival at any cost if we were there at that age.
Former concentration camp guard, 95, removed from Tennessee, sent back to Germany
My question is how he was not subject to justice 75 years ago. Or any time in the interim?
How did he get to the U.S.?

It's puzzling that some only accept best-case speculation and defenses of this man. I can say we don't have all the details, but I don't assume and assert that he's being mistreated for being held accountable. His attorney probably didn't put forth the argument you have because it's not mentioned in friendly(ier) articles about this issue.
"Berger had claimed he was ordered to work at the camp, but the judge said he never sought a transfer and continues to receive a pension from Germany for his wartime service."

My Cousin was in Chu Lai in late 68-69, he was not with Lt Calley though.
My Father was attached to the Australian troops in WW2. He told me that the Aussies commonly cut ears off of Japanese they killed and hung them from a necklace they made. They were not in a particularly good mood, it was payback for atrocities from P.I. to the Southern Islands.
There is no such thing as “rules of war”. That is just a way to assuage guilt for those who send troops, but who do not get “muddy boots”.
Saint Paul a/k/a Saul of Tarsus before his conversion persecuted and terrorized Christians, and sought and received permission from authorities to go as far as Damascus in pursuit of any he could find. At one point he also assisted the mob that stoned Stephen to death, standing by holding their garments while they did the dirty work.

Sadly the German concentration camp guard did not experience a conversion, never asked for a transfer, and instead lived off the pension he earned at camps that were part of the Auschwitz system.
It would make sense to deport an 95 year old ex Nazi if the government also deports illegal gang members, otherwise it’s just posturing.

That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m glad every time any of them leave.
