interesting. thanks for posting.
Series? What are they going to do, sentence her to life or six months?
If we made 16 the culpable of age of being an adult for being involved in Nazism or death of the Jews, the youngest possible age right now is 91, because that person was 16 in 1945.
There must only be a few hundred people, at most who could be charged with this sort of crime.
Still waiting for Soros to be charged for ratting out Jews during WW2...
A lot of the Stutthof prisoners came from the Baltics. A lot of the history of that area is intertwined.
Similarly, Hitler's personal secretary Traudel Junge wrote her biography which was made into a popular movie Downfall. Everyone who has seen the Hitler parodies on Youtube has seen part of Downfall.
Even in the shadow of the death camps, both Soviet and Allied authorities realized that Traudel Junge was a nobody doing her job typing papers and taking dictation, nothing more. She was never prosecuted, a lived the rest of her life quietly in West Germany.
How many people would have been in jail in Germany in 1950 if we had applied todays legal standard for activities in 1939-1945 in 1950. Maybe we should have. It doesn’t seem fair to increase the standard just because fewer are still alive. Are we just virtue signaling today?
FFS! time to move on.
We all have bigger fish to fry now.
She was a secretary I don’t see how she would be complicit in any war crimes of the Nazis.
I shouldn’t be happy with this but I am. She lived for 75 years without being held accountable, but this exposure gives her a chance to seek forgiveness before she crosses over. It will be the last thing she will remember in this world...a chance for redemption.
Too bad we didn’t apply this type of justice to the Japanese. They were vicious and sadistic as hell.
An 18 year old private,or secretary,would have gone through almost 10 years of "Hitler Youth" brainwashing.And yes,there was a female equivalent of the Hitler Youth...can't recall its name.
A 40 year old colonel,or a 50 year old general,should have known better. An 18 year old kid...maybe not.
I don’t like that idea of dragging a 90 plus year old man or woman into the courtroom like that. There should be other ways to deal with it.
Even house arrest sounds better.
They are not a danger at this point.
I am reminded of this film...Kate Winslet played a former Nazi guard who was tried for war crimes...
The guy, who played Hitler in DOWNFALL, is cast as a professor in this film...
Definitely no grandfather clause on this one, eh?
And we thought OUR system was frikked up !
Hitler lived on after the war, our CIA surely knew. Mengele worked in the US after the war under an assumed name. It is a valuable man who has the morals of Fauci or Gates. He was a good Doctor for the CIA. The men who rained terror from the skies via buzz bombs, missiles etc, moved to the US and became heroes building rockets here.
Yet a secretary goes in from of Just Us.
George Soros up next.
Or is he of a protected class?
Can’t believe this is a priority when there are still so many real war crime perpetrators still alive.
Going after what was a young girl who was doing minor secretarial work after 75 years is nonsense.
I think they just find some old person to try for war crimes every time the average German thinks importing muslim hordes is a bad idea.
“Oh you care about your country and your people? You don’t want to be a NAZI do you?”
gotta keep the guilt alive for a little bit longer.
