Good, round up each and every single one of them.

War crimes trials were always intended for high level policy makers and officers. Not low level camp guards.
There are no major Nazi war criminals alive today.
To: CorporateStepsister
I wonder how old these kids were? 16-18 possibly? Ant it happened over 50 years ago??

No matter the age, they were evil in what they participated in.

Were they working for the VA?

Wouldn’t surprise me, but you never know; a lot of young Germans were insanely fanatical at the time.

I just found it curious that Germany went after Ukrainians, like Demjanjuk, much more than any German/Austrian war criminals.
As if Germany wants to say, “See, it wasn’t only us that participated in the Holocaust.”

Wouldnt surprise me, but you never know; a lot of young Germans were insanely fanatical at the time Many SS and Death Camp Guards joined the French Foreign Legion after the war and most of the ex-SS, ex-Einzengruppen, and ex-Death Camp Guards died at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. Some writers have called it the "last fight of the SS".

You want to see some fun, go to a cop forum and ask them if they would enforce a law that would require them to herd Anne Frank onto a rail car to an internment camp. Around half will say yes, because it’s their job to enforce the law. The rest will be split between “no” or will refuse to answer. So yeah, the willingness to go along with evil isn’t just a German thing.

The most guilty non-repentant Nazi collaborator around today is George Soros.
To: CorporateStepsister
I wonder if they’ll go after Soros as well.

I’d not want to be judged on the basis of what I did at 18. But then again, I wasn’t a concentration camp guard at that age, either.

Is their age supposed to make them immune for the punishment of their evil choices?
