I don't excuse Papon's collaboration with this evil regime, not at all. I do say the hatred on the thread is probably over-the-top. From what I've read, the jury didn't convict Papon of murder, because they agreed that he didn't know the victims would be exterminated. People assume, for example, that concentration camps were the same as extermination camps. They weren't.

Most of the people sent there died under the Nazis anyway, so what's the difference.

DUDE, you are starting to SMELL like one of the people in my tag-line below....which if you are not ought to make you think!

Its the last sentence above that's a giveaway.

Let me clue you in: The Nazis destroyed the country of my birth, killing 1,000,000 people in the process - some of whom were my own family members, including my uncle....my Dad fought them for 3 years behind enemy lines (his name was on a Gestapo list of individuals to be rounded up and liquidated following the invasion - a single fact that makes me just as proud of him as anything that he did after the war).

EVERY SINGLE COLLABORATOR should have been SHOT after the war.

You have NO CLUE what the Nazis were. I do. Psycopathic, pathologically lying, atheist-con-men mass murderers. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

And anyone who collaborated with the, or makes excuses for them today is no better.

Oh please, the only difference is that at "concentration camps" the victims are generally starved or worked to death rather than outright gassed or shot. Probably so the pieces of *hit operating them can construct some psychological barrier to the guilt they'd have for murdering innocents outright.

Regardless of whether or not he knew they were "going to be exterminated", that waste of human skin and atmospheric oxygen should have been killed slowly merely for handing over citizens of HIS country to a conquoring force for shipment to God knew where and what fate...
