It’s a travesty that this goosestepper evaded justice for so long. If he lived in my neighborhood, it would’ve been a different story.

The man is 95 years old now.  He was 19 when he served in the SS in a Concentration Camp.  His time at this job was short and he was not part of the killing, nor did he witness any killing.  These are the findings of a German Court.

Well, that's what they always say. No other witnesses for obvious reasons, so there is just his statement that "he didn't see anything".
That's what they always said and what they will always say until the last one of these SS - for which one had to sign up voluntarily btw, at least in the early 1940s - war criminals dies.

And btw, the court clearly stated that he signed up voluntarily.

Can we please stop calling this man a Nazi? It seems rather unfair to hold someone to a label which they were more or less forced into 75 years ago as a teenager. People can change and circumstances need to be taken into account.

He served in the SS. That makes him a Nazi.

“He attended kindergarten. That makes him a kindergartner.”

People can change.

We'll stop calling him a Nazi if you stop posting.
