Where the hell did he say that he'd smash a baby's brains out?

You're seeing the world as too black or white. I'm pretty sure conscription was mandatory during the Nazi regime. I'd like to think that I would have been a hero too if I was German during those times but, realistically, I'd keep my head down and think of living and the lives of my family members.

He never said that.. I also never said that he said that now did I, Lawlight?

I would've "realistically" did the same thing while getting the fuck out of Germany

Soviet sleep study is an urban myth.

Did he do nothing? That'd be taking his word, which I don't buy for a second. I think there's probably horrible things he himself did but I guess we'll never know the truth either way. Not like he's going to be in jail for a long time anyways.

So he's 93 and we judge him now... it's ok I guess. People's grudge will be appeased with blood and nothing else.

I read some of the comments and can't laugh any more. It's not like in 1940 people were thinking the same way we do today. What was acceptable then isn't today and vice versa. It's false to say that the germans were happy under the Nazi control a lot of them were not but it seems to me a lot of people just don't know their history.

You have to understand that after WW1 Germany suffered a lot and the Nazi came, giving a new direction to a country that was downspiraling, to make it short. A lot of soldiers didn't know anything about the camps (yeah but they could've check on the internet or on tv... ohh wait).

This guy may have participated in a war crime but I hope people requesting his head today are requesting the head of other war crimes that are being commited today by our very own countries. WW2 happened 70years ago. It's ok to learn about how bad it was, what started it, how it ended and what we could learn from this. But we need to let it go and focus on what we are still failing to do today...

Everything is said, people should stand back from this and think more.

And like you said, what is more important is to take care about war crimes that happen nowadays, for example, there is a big one hapenning somewhere in the world, but hey, "it's not the same thing", yeah...Sure. Like all the wars started by the USA, the only difference is all the world is ok with that, nobody dares to say something to the great America

FYI, the Russian experiment is a documented hoax.

I just would like to know how they can say he was apart of all that. Where's the evidence he helped 300000 people die like that?

Also, whats crazy to me is that you can get away with basically anything if you are on the right side of history. This guy clearly was on the wrong side

Imagine if the Israeli soldiers were charged with all the war crimes they commit... and that is going on right now. We should all focus on the present and leave the deaths of the 1940's behind. There are innocents in an inhumane and atrocious situation dying today because of Israel.

I do not oppose any German being put on trail for crime against humanity for actions during the Second World War, but I think some Russians, Americans and other Allied solders who committed crimes should also be tried. It is not enough to merely accept crimes are committed by all sides during war, everyone should be accountable for their actions (even if they are on the winning side).

For the Americans who read this I would like to remind them of Wounded Knee, the countless reprisals of Malmedy, No Gun Ri, and above all My Lai. The main different between war heroes and criminals, is whether or not they are on the winning side.
