There was a time, say early 1943, that Hitler could have done the right thing and saved the German people untold suffering.

Dresden never would have happened. Nurnburg never would have happened. Millions of people would not have died in the camps, millions of men would not have died on the eastern front. Need I go on?

If Hitler and his cronies had simply turned themselves in.

This man is as inhuman as they were. Toss him out into the street and let the dogs have him.

I wish I could say the old man is senile but his ice cold words show he is not. If he thinks it's a ten star hotel why does he not spend the rest of his sorrow days there? More than that it shows the beast is still lurking and if we pay no heed it could start all over again.

Hmph. What I don't understand is that my grandfather, a Spanish national, was not allowed back in Spain because he defied Franco's order to return and instead stayed fighting in the East. Yet, Franco allowed individuals such as this in.

Yes I'm surprised too, Spain is member of the E.U. so why would he be prosecuted in Germany, France Austria etc.. and not Spain? Also I'm surprised the Germans do not deprive him from his pension.

I was under the impression that members of the SS, including the waffen SS, were not eligible for a pension which is why they created the HAIG organization.

I would be absolutely astonished if Spain chose to adopt certain other EU state's blanket laws on individual's dark pasts, It would lead to rather a great deal of confusion over what to do with a large segment of it's patrician classes from the Franco Era.

I can only imagine he was allowed in because he was a non-Spaniard so his status in a war in which Spain was officially neutral would be irrelevant. Think of Skorzeny, who became a rather successful businessman living in Spain postwar (and Ireland for a period, which I didn't know until double-checking just now...) .

Cheers,
Adam.

Yes this is why I'm surprised. But at least one his pensions comes from the German Federal Government, not Spain.

Perhaps he was also following orders?


Stalin marched men like these through the streets of Moscow after Bagration and then symbolically hosed down the streets using water trucks after they passed.


A disgusting human being....

it's hard to believe that this sort of evil still exists from something that happened so long ago. if he doesn't get justice here, he will when he dies.

In that case we did the Allies go to war against the III Reich? Didn't Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, etc have a right to free speech as well?

I lived under censorship in my own country so I know what deprivation of rights actually is, and shutting down a cretin is nor censorship.

well i understand wht you are saying, Von Runstedt, but I don't have to like it. There wa a saying a while back about these types of people who were burning flags and screaming that that was an act of free speech, well the saying goes, "if you want to burn this flag, wrap yourself in it first."

It's people like this Nazi scum that would make me not mind having some censorship. Now I understand he is in Spain where he can say all this. And even here in America, we have all these Neo-Nazi rallies. Those are the times I say "Screw the 1st Admendment. You want to abuse it and be unethical, pay the price." The government giveth, the government should taketh away.

I agree with von Rundstedt,

Freedom of speech, or total silence (because you'll always offend someone). This guy is a flake and dangerous to himself and fools who believe him. Laugh at fools don't censor them.

In family matters, think what you want, but watch what you say.

Nowhere needs a "Nanny" State.

My Dad said "You can't fix a rabid dog so you shoot them." And he did shoot every SS "rabid dog" in the back of the head he came across and apparently he found more than one rabid dog during his time in Europe.

Any of those scum still breathing should be taken out into the streets and shot in the back of the head...and left for the rabid dogs to dispose of.
