Of course I wasn't around back then. But if historical accounts and historical portrayals of both Hitler and Stalin are any indication.

Most of these guys had no choice but to follow orders of their supreme leader. And in the light of current portrayals of Hitler portrays him as a schizophrenic demented lunatic who would go off on unrelated rants, that would have nothing to do with the mission or topic at hand. And if you led on that you thought he was coming unhinged, he would have you hauled away and exposed of properly. If Hitler said kill a million Jews you better kill a million and two.

The Germans are the only ethnic group to have people bellow the top decision makers tried for atrocities. With African warlords, even today, the top Dictator is tried. The International community does not convict every single soldier who carried out their orders.

With all that in mind, I never got tracking down people in their late 70's and now 90's to hold them accountable for biggest lunatic the world has ever seen, actions from over 60 years ago.

yes its true, the Associated Press, the un-elected fourth branch of the government has already "judged" a person in the USA is actually a Nazi. So what happened to due process you talk about ?

shall we even go into the privacy and freedom issues here.. maybe they can go into Dan records and see what they could find ? You seem to fear Government and Big Corporate intrusion .. but I guess if its the Press.. it all OK by you

Amazing. If ignorance is bliss then you are orgasmic. Due process of law is for the law, not the press. If the press screws it up they can be sued for libel.

Since when is "the Press" not big corporations? AP, Murdoch, fox, bbc, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Turner, MSN are all small business according to you?

This guy should run for president on the GOP ticket in 2016.

He wouldn't pass the Tea Party litmus test.....no balls.

I have to agree.

Gunning down Jews and setting their families on fire won't play well with the Tea Party rank and file, as it hurts Israel and postpones Armageddon.

But, most important, we have no evidence that this man is sufficiently violent towards the poor. Would he cross the street to kick a homeless person? Would he throw acid in the face of a middle-class union worker? These are the lynchpins of Tea Party ideology.

What country regularly recognizes and celebrates Nazis?

Spain.

Teabagger assholes will hail this guy as a god and patriot.

I don't know what else he did besides what the article says, but many people did join up to specifically to fight against communism and/or Stalin's thuggery. In that respect he might be a patriot in Ukraine.

Goes down? Article just said he lives peacefully in Minnesota since the war was over, doesn't bother anyone. Fled the prosecution, which most Nazis did when they ran to Argentina. 1940's was a weird time, can't prosecute staff who participated anymore.

Not sure what is all this Nazi hunting thing lately on the news/movies. Clearly we as a nation have not done anything to be proud of since WW2. Because it seems that we have to constantly go back to 1940's just to feel good about something.
