I have relatives that have a picture of a Nazi Soldier dressed in full Nazi uniform hanging in their living room. He was a loving brother who died in the war marching into Russia, and he was missed by his Brother after the war. So yes, not all Nazis were bad, and all of them were just following orders from their superiors. They never refused an order.
So why the negative connotation of “Executioner” toward all Nazi Soldiers who simply followed legal orders? A little sensitive for some reason?
And yet another sea lawyer chimes in. Where did you earn your law degree? And how many boxtops did it cost you? Are you happy Lt Col Lakin followed your advice?
