Then maybe you could explain the German prosecutions of Friedrich Engel, convicted in 2002, Heinrich Boere, convicted in 2010, and Josef Scheungraber, convicted in 2009.

Friedrich Engel and Josef Scheungraber were investigated and first convicted in Italy for killing Italians. Engel was not imprisoned because of his age. Heinrich Boere was a Dutch citizen, convicted in Holland of killing Dutchmen, who fled to Germany after the war.

All these men were convicted of direct involvment in murder. Can you name a German-born, German citizen imprisoned for war crimes like Demjanjuk for being drafted as a camp guard?

So basically you're going from a position of "No Germans have been prosecuted" to a position of "Okay, Germans have been prosecuted, but they were murderers. And volunteers."
