I dunno about this one. I mean, I'm not trying to defend anything the nazis did during world war 2, but the war ended nearly 70 years ago. Whoever they find is gonna be pushing 90, with so many neurological problems that he probably doesn't even remember what happened last week let alone something from 1945.

Vengeance isn't justice. It might be time to let this go.

They are down to second lieutenants and sergeants. Hardly the policy-makers.

Seems like an awful waste of money and time now. They'll all be 85+ now.

"Just following orders" was not a defense of doing something totally heinous, but it's kind of hard to see why someone who was a young soldier, say being ordered to guard a concentration camp while knowing that disagreeing with that duty would result in punishment, should be prosecuted for war crimes.
