I still don't see the point of punishing the guardsmen. They would have been shot if they didn't do what Hitler wanted to be done.

If this was 1954, I wouldn't be so opposed to the arrest. But this man is going to be dead within a few years. If he truly did commit atrocities, God will judge him for it.

The guards were given loaded firearms and to shoot stragglers  and anyone who tried to make a dash for freedom.

The German place name for the camp was Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Hideki Tojo was Prime Minister of Japan during most of its war with the US. He was convicted of sundry crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and conventional war crimes, for which he was sentenced to die by hanging and was so executed.

Japan was undeniably a major power during WWII.

George W. Bush is a war criminal, by the way. Unlike previous Presidents from Nixon to Clinton he has stayed in the US and not ventured to foreign countries since his term ended.
