No. I'm sure he made others' lives livid nightmares by having them see their family being murdered in front of their faces.

That doesn't take away the fact that he probably lived a sad, miserable, guilty life? GGD Member Astraeus.

Good that they're finding the nazis-in-hiding. It doesn't matter how old they are. It matters that they murdered these people.

 

I disagree, I don't see any point going after geriatrics 70 years after the fact.

Guy would have been age 12-24 during Nazi era, perfect age for indoctrination.

 

Do Nazi hunters keep lowering the bar for the types they will prosecute just to keep it going? I bet they didn't prosecute people like him in 1945-55 because they would have had to lock up hundreds of thousands if they went after everyone involved with the SS or the death camps.

What's wrong with you? You're basically saying that a murderer gets away with 3,000+ counts of murders just because he's older? :wtf:

You can't treat every little person who was just obeying orders of an evil regime like a murderer.

Anyway, the Allies and people after the war were wise not to. Just too many guilty people and it's better to move beyond vengeance.

thats true, because then why we wouldn't we bomb the pilots of the planes in the Dresden bombings?

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I know what he was part of was unquestionably evil, but I don't how much he can be held accountable. He was a young medic, not and officer or someone of authority, and more likely a pawn in all of this. With all the propaganda and him being so young, he was likely easily lead on; lets remember the world was completely different back then and didn't have the same perspective it does now. 

 

I also don't know how effective jailing him is. It doesn't offer retribution or ease the pain to those who remain, I doubt anything could. It doesn't make the world safer. It doesn't punish him. It serves little purpose. 

 

I'm not saying it is right or wrong to jail him, just that I can't sit here and pass judgement on a man for his actions he made a long, long time ago in a very different world.
