#2 I agree with Ship, so many worthy of the noose managed to slip away at the end of the war. Syria's most noted citizen, Alios Brunner is the one I want to see swing.
I hope the perpetrators of today's barbarisms are pursued as relentlessly.

#3 There must have been a heck of a lot of them involved for there to still be 10 survivors, all at least in their 80s. My guess is that the entire unit was charged with the war crime.

The 16th was formed from ethnic Germans, but I've no idea what country the volksdeutsche came from, possibly Hungary. It surrendered to British forces in Austria.

The Russians, especially, put out wants and warrants on anyone who belonged to entire SS units, and not just einsatzgruppe, but Waffen SS as well.

#5 Well, it is all well and good to put out a contract on individuals who committed war crimes, but spending 60 years tracking down somebody who was there but may or may not have actually done anything is a bit obsessive. The officer, maybe, but nine privates?

Unless they had developed some new evidence, waiting 60 years for a trial, in absentia, no less, just comes across as weird.

#6 Our enlisted don't get a pass even when they do follow the rules of engagement, so why should Krauts get a pass when he is ordered not to?
