How Germany is prosecuting its final Nazis —now in their 90s or older
New York Post ^ | August 6, 2022 | Isabel Vincent

When she appeared in a German court last month, Irmgard Furchner sat in a wheelchair clutching her handbag. Her mask and kerchief made it difficult to see the face of the 97-year-old — who has been charged with more than 11,000 counts of “aiding and abetting” murder during the Holocaust.

The nursing-home resident was a secretary in the commandant’s office of the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig, and is now among the latest former Nazis to be prosecuted in Germany.

The defendants are in their late 90s or even centenarians, but German prosecutors and a Nazi hunter are determined that they face justice for the murder of six million Jews.

> He wasn’t a Nazi. <

George Soros is a lot of bad things. But as you noted, he was not a Nazi. I’ve read his account of his time under German occupation. I’ve read his father’s account as well. Both accounts clear him, and - importantly - they are convincing.

Furthermore, the Germans were meticulous record-keepers. If Soros really was some sort of junior Nazi, there’d be paperwork somewhere saying so. And there’d be witnesses (Hungarian citizens, etc.) who would have stepped forward.

Soros was not a 13 year old Jewish Nazi infantryman shooting at the Band of Brothers.

“I am appalled by how many of the leading Nazis got off light. ‘

And some like Karl Donitz got far more than they deswerved. Chester Nimtz testified om behalf of Donitz that he did nothing wrong.

The post-war Nazi ratline was real. Many Nazis escaped that way. And Catholic officials were involved. That is an unpleasant truth. However, it is a mistake to infer that aiding Nazis was therefore official church policy. It most certainly was not.

And as you noted, American intelligence agencies also played a part. The Church had its reasons, and so did the Americans. Both groups thought its reasons were good enough.

Decent article about this here (yeah, I know it’s Wikipedia).

Especially Albert Speer, what a conman he was. Should have been hanged with the rest of ‘em.

I basically said what you wrote. I didn’t say he joined the party. He collaborated with the Nazi’s and their Hungarian stooges. To steal jewish possessions for Nazi profit. Generally after their proper owners had been sent to the camps and executed. Admiral Horthy, et al were happy to go along with Hitler so long as he looked like a winner and was willing to leave Hungary a few crumbs. 12-13 was an age where Audrey Hepburn showed it was possible for a good bright kid to know and do better. John Clem, the “Drummer Boy of Chickamauga,” was promoted to sergeant after that battle for bravery, aged 12. Conversely many kids that age participate in gang violence. Frequently to be spared prosecution by Soros bought ‘prosecutors.’ Soros, certainly always a bright kid, looks back at his collaboration without regret as some of the happiest memories of his life. He already had lousy morals thanks to his (Marxist IIRC) parents. Although, IIRC, he was aware enough they’d look bad to lie about them on his US citizenship application. He’s not just a cockroach, he’s the progenitor of a swarm of cockroaches.

And Soros is Hungarian.

Buddy of yours?

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors.

SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many, years. Was it difficult?

SOROS: No, not at all. Not at all, I rather enjoyed it. KROFT: No feelings of guilt?

SOROS: No, only feelings of absolute power.

12 year-old kids fought in the Warsaw Uprising. There's a statue in Warsaw commemorating it.

Thank for posting that. Journalists. The reason nobody believe them.
That’s the first time I’ve ever believed a “Fact Checker” 👍

Yeah. Go after Pope Benedict while you're at it. He was barely a teenager during the war also.

Let’s all not forget- the reason he is even a subject of attention is the fact that he has a lot of our law makers and law-“enforcers” in his pocket. The very ones that are turning our country into a chaotic mess.

What’s scary is that the Nazi Party has grown powerful in America in its 21st century recrudescence known as the Democrat Party, i.e. the Party of Hate, Evil, Racism, Slavery, and the Ku Klux Klan.

If you get a chance and haven’t seen it yet watch the death squads documentary, not only were there Nazis that got away with this but in places like the Ukraine and Romania what they called local law enforcement but were criminal deranged thugs did the Nazi dirty work before the death camps and murdered men women and children in mass graves
