How about yours?

I can't say the topic ever specifically came up.

As it happens we're not particularly religious. We never attendend church on an ordinary Sunday. I go to churches for funerals and weddings. My own thoughts on religion and the bible are just those. I'm not going to spew them about and try to make others share my view (which is exactly what starts fights and wars.)

I wasn't raised in a depressed pre-WWII Germany though. Neither were you.

He did what he thought was the patriotic thing to do for his country at the time.

Soldiers just follow orders....

No bj229er thats not what I'm saying (I do find it funny that you and Toad jump to those conclusions tho), what I'm saying is that it's very hard to speculate on what you would do when you have never been put into that situation (not to meantion the years of propiganda before hand).

Welll...one MIGHT conclude that's because it IS what you said, intent aside;)

Nope, if you'll re-read the quote that you posted what I said was that you would be shot if you walked away, simple fact. At no point in my post did I say I would have taken part, you are putting words into my mouth. I'm just trying to help people see both side of the story. Your lack of comprehension does make me laugh tho.

An oldie but goodie. The last refuge of a war criminal.

That final phrase is such a cliche that reading it actually creates a type of stench I'd have trouble describing without breaking some rule of this forum.

I wonder how many of those patriotic heroes prefaced their 'I was just following orders' bit with actual remorse.

another news article about Paul Henss

Quote

"I didn't commit no crimes," Henss said in a thick German accent. "I didn't hurt nobody. Otherwise I wouldn't have come to the United States."

At least it would have been very stupid to move to the USA as a war criminal that could be prosecuted for war crimes. In the middle of the all powerful jewish organizations.

Quote

-- Henss said he never set foot inside Dachau or Buchenwald and never used attack dogs on prisoners in concentration camps.

Neubob · « **Reply #99 on:** October 01, 2007, 10:21:12 PM »

Well if he said so, it must be true.

Henss is hard of hearing, has had some heart problems and uses a walker.

Quote

"We couldn't even imagine that Mr. Henss could do that," said Nuzzu Syed, who lives two doors down. "They're such a nice, elderly couple."

Quote

He called the Holocaust "a catastrophe" and said: "Everybody in Germany knows that wasn't right."

lol thats it im getting more involved...

Example: A man is charged with killing a family in 1950 the children of the family go ahead and press charges. The man said i didnt do it and there is no physical evidence since it was so long ago. Would you believe him?

Well thats what you just did :|

Bob you do not know HOW MUCH I AGREE WITH YOU , that bs statement has been spewed by every war criminal ever.

I love these guys saying that it's just impossible for the average guy to decide if mass murdering thousands of civilians in gas chambers and burning their bodies in crematories is good or bad.

It's such a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Killing tens of thousands of people.... good or bad and who are you to decide anyway, bud? On the next Jerry Springer!

I also note that none of you seem to be able to decide if you would participate in the very worst of atrocities to prolong your own life.

Says quite a bit, I think, of the (lack of) moral fiber in the US today.

I think our fathers and grandfathers that fought that war would be ashamed if they read this thread. And probably angry.
