So all of these people are uniquely guilty, you think. Let me ask you whether the Americans who sent Russians to their deaths in Operation Keelhaul should be hunted down as war criminals today? Some of them witnessed Russians committing suicide on the trains they were packing them in and thus they knew their fate was very bleak. How are they all that different from these people? Yes, the Nazi regime is one of the worst the world has ever seen. But war crimes of a horrendous sort were committed by our side and even more by the Soviets in WWII. Victors' justice and incredibly stupid for the most part is how I see this.

So a gypsy and a jew killer should go free? Fry him. In fact the entire German people of that generation are culpable. If they didn't know about the death camps, they damn well knew that Jews were being dispossessed and did sweet F all.

I don't deny that we did some dastardly things, but that argument doesn't change the fact that our cause was just. Theirs was not.
