BERLIN — In a series of home raids, Germany has arrested three men — aged 88, 92 and 94 — suspected of being former SS guards at the Auschwitz death camp.

The three elderly men underwent medical tests and then faced a judge who confirmed their fitness to be detained in a prison hospital, prosecutors said in a statement Thursday.

The men were suspected of having served as Auschwitz SS guards from 1942 to 1944 and of having participated in murders at the Nazis’ extermination camp in occupied Poland, where more than 1 million people were killed in the Second World War.

The three men lived in the south-western state of Baden-Württemberg, said prosecutors in the city of Stuttgart.

Put them in a closed chamber and introduce Zyklon B and let them suffer what 6 million Jews and others suffered. Fitting punishment.

Shouldn’t they be convicted first?

There should be no statute of limitations for mass murder.

Actually, only a portion were killed in the concentration camps. A larger number were executed by police batalions and burried in mass graves.

I don’t know if these guys are guilty or not, but at their age, they might actually look forward to prison. The state would then be required to feed, clothe, house them, and give them top notch medical care. I do not know what the answer to this is, but they will be taken care of.

If they are really guilty, then that justice is way more than a little late.

None of my relatives who survived over 90 had a life worth living, they require(d) full time nursing care which is not pretty.

Take away the worst years of their lives?

Because Putin views the collapse of the Soviet Union as the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.

When you think about it very few Nazi’s or SS were brought to justice. Israel really didn’t go after many at all. They knew they were living abroad in South America and in the USA and in Egypt and Iran now back in Germany. There were trade offs and deals brokered. Israel turned a blind eye for votes in the UN for recognition of Israel - crucial votes were garnered from South America. The US ran rat lines and took thousands for their expertise and who knows what else. Many Nazi’s of the higher ranks disseminated around the globe as early as late ‘41 and ‘42 as either moles or supposed German traitors to set up shop for after the war and the coming 4th Reich,(their version of a millennial dystopian reign). They had plenty of money that the central banks allowed to be transferred to them and one can see they were tremendously successful. How much we will never know. But Hitler and his occult SS comrades had plans for the future decades later that included bringing into submission the non-Aryan races and the second and third world peoples and countries. If he could see Obama now I’m sure Hitler would approve. Obama and the PTB also seek to set up a false millennial kingdom of their own. However, we know how it ends thank you G-d and Jesus.

Are far as these three old men - if things can be absolutely proven - okay - otherwise let ‘em be. The real bad guys got away scott free for the most part. Same as in the old Soviet Union - no one was punished and all the victims of incredible crimes against millions of people never received justice in terms of perpetrators being brought to justice.
This is the way of the 20th century - Let God sort it out come Judgement day.

I was wondering the same thing. As bad as the Germans were, I believe the Soviets were even worse, but the Germans get all the bad press. Could it be that the many communists in America, and other countries, give them cover? I do not know, but maybe the rats need the gulag guards expertise in building American gulags, so they protect them. Who knows?

Something for the current crop of wannabe camp guards to keep in mind...

You think they might look forward to prison?

Are you insane?
