    What he should have done is run the fuck away. It would be scary and it would be difficult and it would be dangerous, but it is the easiest alternative to being an accessory to such evil.

    He probably didn't help to murder "millions"

    But when Israel does it it's A-OK, right?

    V2 rockets were being manufactured for primarily military reasons, not for reasons of "yo, let's kill as many innocent people as we can," which is an adequate summary of the Final Solution. Hitler and Stalin's guilt is not congruent to what you associate with those scientists at all.

    Besides, those scientists redeemed themselves by spending the rest of their lives working to further the cause of humanity anyway.

    That would have worked, too, and as I said earlier: there were literally dozens of options available to him. You and I merely listed ~3.

    There is no "forgiving" to be done here. Tough luck; should've thought twice before killing those innocent people, against your will or not.

    If you feel a need to compare the camps to something the US has done, the best analogy is the Japanese Internment Camps we set up. The conditions were only marginally, if at all better then the German ones, although at least we didn't start executing prisoners...well, en masse anyway. These were Japanese americans, often CITIZENS, whose property, business and assets were seized while they were sent to work camps.

    You know, lots of folks died there too. Should we start rounding up any American soldiers who worked there? Maybe we can find some Justice in that.

    While we're looking.

    This man served in the S.S and tried to hide that fact, by taking on another life, rather than answer for any crimes he commited, that has nothing to do with anybody elses but himself. The fact he is 80 doesn't exuse his actions either.

    Indeed, it is easy to say something while you're in your heated dorm at college on your keyboard, but then they will actually kill you and your family, it becomes a whole different story.

    Has he really tried to hide it? Perhaps he's ashamed of it? Considering how "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!" mentality posters are here I understand why.

    That is why he will be facing a trial, and given a chance to defend himself, the fact is more likely based on the positon he held, and the fact he fled justice rather than stand up and explain himself, suggest otherwise.

    Oh so just because the rockets were aimed at military installations (they weren't always, but I'm humoring you since you have a severely white-washed view of history) it's ok if a few hundred civilians die because they weren't the PRIMARY target, they just happened to be there. Your hypocrisy makes me sick. You're a disgusting human being and I pray one day you realize what the world was REALLY like then, and what it's REALLY like now.

    its very obvious (even your sig hints it) that you are a brain-washed drone, so I'm not gonna bother trying to have a decent argument with you.

    Yes honey, those poor sweet scientists are completely innocent, and absolutely NONE of their contributiosn for the Fürher ever EVER was used to harm anything in this good earth, after all, we know how much Hitler loved to hire scientists to investigate how to make bunnies fluffier, how to make cotton sweeter, and how to make sparkles sparkier.

    Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with offering asylum and pardon to those poor tortured souls who absolutely never harmed a fly in their entire lives

    if you truly believe that, then there is no point in this conversation continuing.

    War such a grey area... So funny to see so many people play the moralist in a dilemma far exceeding the capacity and knowledge one can have unless being in that situation. Sure morally wrong. But so are many things we today and support our government in doing.

    <--- served 3 tours in Afghanistan as Infantry.

    I say let the old man be and to all the burn the man at the stakers here. You will never ever ever ever know what you would do in that situation. There is no right or wrong only shades of grey in war.

    Yes, and like him you would diminish the actual fact of the crimes he maybe guilty of, and to suggest that it isn't even prudent to ask is both obnoxious, and telling of your bias as is his.



    Of course explaining himself will be difficult, but if he is innocent, and as a man regardless to what he has done, or didn't do at the very least if he was sorry for what he had done, he would do the right thing and stand trial.

    How do we know he did help murder millions? It's a two-way street. Look I despise nazis as much as the next person but...we need to be fair here.

    You dont know what justice is junior, truly. You think you know how you'd react, but you dont really know. And if you say you are absolutely certain you know how you'd act in any given situation then you are just lying to yourself and to the rest of us. Until you've seen the evidence or lived his life then you really have no business judging him, or anyone else.

    He was a guard at 2 different camps. The Nazi's had over 15,000 camps throughout Europe during WWII. During this time ~6,000,000 Jews were put to death in those camps. Based on those numbers it's physically impossible for him to have helped murder millions of people unless he's capable of existing in multiple places at the same time.
