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.

The winning side of any war gets away with literally anything. Unfortunately that is how it is
