German Justice for SS Guards

Watch "Nazi Hunters" on Netflix. The Mossad doing work.

Kind of amazing Germany was able to maintain jurisdiction with the concessions Japan was rightfully made to accept.

What do you expect then to do to their own people? They're going to be lenient on them. It's understabdabke. Not saying what they did with the postwar punishments was right. But I can understand it.

The thing most people don't seem to understand, is that not all concentration camps were camps of mass killing. This was relegated to about 6 camps in Poland. The VAST majority of the German concentration camps were simply camps to concentrate peoples who couldn't be allowed to roam German territories during wartime without being monitored for whatever reason the German state determined on an individual basis. They were detention camps. There was no promotion or celebration of killing Jews put forth to the public or to the military.

Of the so called "extermination camps" in Poland, some were massive (Auschwitz) and encompassed large work camp sites. Likely very few guards or camp personnel would have been involved in any killing operations and there were a great number who were not even German, thus they would have been widely dispersed in the chaos of the war's end.

My advice is not to get your information and conclusions from entertainment history programs whose primary goal is to keep you watching and not to provide full context and perspective with academic tone and objectivity.

In this 50-minute video, a former SS man is interviewed about his experiences working at the Treblinka death camp. Horrifying stuff, and to think, Treblinka was a relatively small death camp, used among other things to test different methods of murder, with the most efficient methods later adopted at Auschwitz.

I don't know about the camp guards, but as the rank got higher, so did the Allies' interest in bringing them to justice. Far from every guilty officer was tried and condemned, but several major trials were held in Germany, Poland, and in Russia.

Wernher von Braun was SS and was indifferent to slave labor. However, he is the only SS man that truly moved mankind forward. Probably the only celebrated Nazi.
