Let this poor old cook die in peace. Hands off! BDS

...Just as for their victims, the time is running out for the perpetrators, of these most unspeakable crimes in world history. While thousands of the beasts in human form were brought to some justice in time, often it was lenient and "considerate" indeed. However, to this writer, the only true and fair justice is and always was from Heaven, and it is not for human courts, no matter how thorough and equitable, to say the final word. Similar grotesque crimes were perpetrated in Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany proper, Cambodia, Vietnam, other places. In every one of these locations thousands of survivors are still waiting for "justice" that will never come, at least in their eyes.

He was a member of the SS. The SS was an ALL VOLUNTARY brigade. He was not drafted or forced in any way. He entered the United States illegally, which is why he was denaturalized. The United States did not open its doors to members of the SS. There were no SS "cooks." That was considered demeaning for Nazi SS. Dementia, age, illness or crippling disease are NOT a bar to prosecuting Nazi war criminals. While most European countries no longer exercise capital punishment, Nazi war crimes remain punishable by death. Nice to see you use your acronym to sign off on your posts. BDS = Brain Dead Savage We knew that, sluggo.

"While most European countries no longer exercise capital punishment, Nazi war crimes remain punishable by death." - I am not sure what this is supposed to mean but you are clearly misguided. Besides, this guy is 94. He probably does not remember his own name. If ever, he should have been bumped off right after the war. Punishing him now in any manner would achieve nothing.

What the heck took them so long? He was deported in the 1980's, until now enjoying the good life in London?

Yet Germany now decides to try him?

Of the 10,000 plus people he is accused of being an accessory to their murders, how many were fit to stand trial for their crime of being Jewish? The number of counts is mind boggling. If it were one, then maybe. But ten thousand? Where is the line drawn? I don't know, but it surely must be something less than ten thousand. He should stand trial, no matter what.

Putting him on trial would uphold the rule of law. We owe his victims that much, don't you think? Mental state is not a bar to the prosecution of Nazi war criminals. Neither is age. The people who crafted those stipulations knew more about these war criminals did than do you. Plenty of people hanged for war crimes were, quite arguably, completely insane. They weren't mentally competent then. Why should mental competence even be an argument now? Justice matters. People have been executed supported by body boards, chairs and even wheelchairs. Think of what this monster did before you start to pity him. Read the litany of his crimes, and then tell me if your pity exceeds your sense of justice.
