Let me spell it out for you veerrry slowly.

Nazi hunting is a farce when they track down 93 year old men, who may or may not have been cooks, but were almost certainly not movers and shakers or policy makers.

And especially when policymakers and actual killers and torturers for an ideology that killed many times more innocents have nobody at all hunting them, or seeing a need to.

Perhaps a mathematical analogy will help.

Group A killed X people, so group A is bad and everyone who was ever connected with group A must be tracked down and punished in a show trial.

Group B killed at least X*8-12 people, but we’ll just ignore its members. In fact, it continues to be a respectable ideology.

Now does that make any sense?

“Group B killed at least X*8-12 people, but we’ll just ignore its members. In fact, it continues to be a respectable ideology.”

We can’t bring commies to justice. Nuclear weapons and all that.

That said, what you are saying is “because lots of killers go free, all killers should go free.”

That’s absurd.

It’s incomplete justice, but something is better than nothing.

I guess you missed the part of the story that says the documentation they found listed him as part of the Death's Head brigade, not a cook. Those were the worst of the worst murderers. They would count as movers, shakers, trigger pullers, and gas switch flippers.

No, I’m too stupid.
