T00l_shed comments on Judge orders release of records on Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada

No, not American, and not sure when. I just hate nazis. To add i am in almost every case imaginable against capital punishment. There are very very small exceptions in my books.

Nazis should always have the books thrown at them.

What do you do with teenage soldiers as young as 15? Not a hypothetical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_SS_Panzer_Division_Hitlerjugend

Bearing in mind they grew up knowing no political climate other than Nazi Germany. They would have been 3 when Hitler took power.

Prison them for 10 years if their records are bad but it depends on the cases.

Yeah, and they’re also child soldiers. What do you do with child war criminals?

Germany had plenty to fill their prisons with, which they didn't do:

"But while in West Germany and united Germany between 1946 and 2005, cases were brought against 140,000 individuals, only 6,656 were convicted of Nazi crimes. And 'the vast majority of sentences, just under five thousand (4,993), were relatively lenient, with terms of imprisonment of up to two years,' Fulbrook writes."
