Never heard of this before.....good job by these heroes.

Spielberg will make a movie about them showing they're just as bad as the Nazis.

Can you please change the "thys" in the headline to "they"? Thanks and Merry Christmas.

"I didn't see myself as a murderer, not then and not today," group member Simcha Rotem told Channel Two.

Doesn't matter how you see yourself. It only matters how God sees one.

I have heard of this before. Several years ago on Nightline. However, at the time, they did not claim that all the P O W's they poisoned were ss officers ... just POW's. some of whom, I think, were in U.S. custody. Just dumping poison in the food at a POW camp is not heroic. It's murder and they should be prosecuted just as Nazi war criminals were.

"But another plan, carried out in part by Joseph Harmatz, largely succeeded. Harmatz found work at a bakery that supplied bread to American-run prisoner camps. He said he received arsenic in rubber bottles from Paris, which he then used to poison 3,000 loaves of bread. About 2,280 SS men ate the bread, he said, but couldn't say how many - or if any - died."


Hey, I am not going to shed any tears over killing the killers but do you think maybe some innocent people may have eaten some of that bread? Perhaps an American guard or local postwar starving peasants? Not a good or noble plan but I certainly understand the motivation.

Heroes? More like murderers, who killed indiscriminantly or attempted to do so without allowing their victims any sort of due process. You can't blanket 2,800 German POWs as death camp guards who oversaw the murder of innocent people, but that simply doesn't resemble the facts.

I have heard this before.

I have always admired the killers of killers.

It is a dirty job, but the manifestation of organizations like the Schutzstaffel makes it a moral imperative that some amongst the good sacrifice their moral convictions and counter evil with an equal and opposite force.

It is hard to have sympathy for people who wore the order of the death head as insignia and enforced the extermination of millions of non combatant civilians. The SS was recruited from sociopaths, they should have been hunted down and exterminated to the last man.

Today America lacks the political ability to identify and carry out such a necessity.

I read somewhere that the British did some of that as well - not poison, but a bullet in the back of the head.

One of these fellows appeared in the PBS special
"Auschwitz: Inside The Nazi State".
He was a member of a "Jewish Brigade" (?) of the British Army and related
how they went on their covert missions of retribution in the days
just after WWII.

He also did intelligence work for Israel later on...and volunteered
to perform the execution of Eichmann.
He said the authorities declined his offer by saying something like
"that's fine, you've already done enough".
