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.

So people who, from their air-planes, machine-gunned civilians fleeing to river during the fire-storm at Dresden should go free? Should a Vietnam vet Senator from Nebraska go free? Should the people who dropped the A-Bomb go free? Were all these evil people or not?
The Allied cause was just. But, as hard as it is to imagine, many people on the other side thought theirs was, too.
Going after Nazi war criminals at this stage of the game gives vindictiveness a rather bad name.
