SS Guard Deported

these SS *******s murdered plenty of elderly people as well as children. they should be shown no mercy.

I get that, but they were following orders. He’s just so old, not like he will be around much longer. There was an old lady in the UK not too long ago that was caught as a Russian spy in like the Cold War, but she was so old they didn’t press it, they just told her they knew.

being punished will bring relief to this sinner; it will help atone for the great wrong perpetrated by the Germans not so long ago.

The SS was an ideologically motivated elite Nazi organisation. They were not the regular German army and this guy wasn't just an ordinary soldier. "Just following orders" doesn't quite cut it here.

He’s had his life to dwell on that which I’m sure he has, the stress of all this could kill him, let’s face it he’s not gonna be popular in Germany is he. He isn’t even German

But he was moved into the SS in 1943 (when the Germans started plucking decent soldiers from the regular army and putting them into SS training). I know what they did was terrible but my point is more that I feel it’s too late to punish him, what does it change?

I mean, it's really a question of fairness and justice isn't it?

I think it would change things for the families of those who were killed in the death camps for a start.

Speaking generally (not about this individual - he participated in pretty much the epitome of human evil) I do think clemency and mercy have a place, but not solely on the basis of a person's age.

There are already lefties in the US attacking this, saying it's elder abuse and ICE being over zealous, or using it as cover.

stress is women and their children being taken off a train, stripped naked and gassed. that is stress.

Completely agree, but still, 95..I fully get what you are saying but something about how old he is just makes me think it’s all a bit of a stunt, futile in terms of fixing anything other than pleasing protestors

Not a lefty myself )), there’s just part of me that thinks that too much time has passed for punishment, but yeah, you make a valid point
