91-Year-Old Nazi Guard Convicted

poverty isnt an excuse for genocide. :bz

HOODS

I honestly cant say what I would have done and I dont think anyone really can. Its all up to what you believed, how you were raised and alot of it has to do with what your duty was as a soldier in that country. I think what happebed back then was disgusting and awful, and I have no problem with them punishing people for it now, but I honestly cannot say how I would have acted or what I would have done. It depends on the person/situation/ and your belieffs.

98% of German solders and i would guess 99.9% of civilians did not know what was going on in the camps

NolaFree810

so 0.1 percent of germans killed 8 million people??

WakeOfAshes

more likely 11 million, but same difference.

Shane

pretty much and only about 350,000 people died in Auschwitz. the "millions" you've always been taught were a misappropriation

NolaFree810

shane playin devils advocate again.......that was the dumbest statement in this whole thread

ya sweet link of an article spoken in german lol

millions of jews died regardless of one camp, that is not the issue here anyways so your being a moron

Shane

only moron is the one who can't figure out how to translate a webpage on the internet

WakeOfAshes

I think shane is the most likely person here that would have been a willing participant to the Waffen-SS

NolaFree810

im not going to do that cuz your goofy article is irrelevant to the fact that SS officers should be held accountible for their atrocities

Bottle_Tree

Even if that camp just killed one person, I would feel the same way.

Shane

im not going to do that cuz your goofy article is irrelevant to the fact that SS officers should be held accountable for their atrocities

yes they should. The officers in command of the operation should no question be held accountable. the average joe guard solder following his orders should not be

NolaFree810

if your order is to burn an 11 year old child alive then yes you should be held accountible, and for the record very few soldiers were in this moral conundrum, most were happy to follow through on these orders, scum of the earth

Shane

if my order was to burn a child or be tortured. i would burn the child

NolaFree810

ss officers do not torture there own people, you may have been put to death but not tortured


and your pretty sad then...

Shane

same difference. i believe in self preservation. i would commit horrors if it kept me alive

NolaFree810

you must of been a pretty shitty soldier then

WakeOfAshes

if my order was to burn a child or be tortured. i would burn the child

I am not like you
