   Was it wrong to execute the Nazis that got caught? I see all the debate about Saddam Hussein, but seems to me that tyrants who brutalize/torture/kill their OWN PEOPLE have reaped what they sowed throughout history. http://dbg.agentstepp.com/reaper.jpg Can we PLEASE not make this about GWB and how very evil America is.......... just this once?!

   Was it wrong to execute the Nazis that got caught? Its a tough one because majority had no choice, kill /trick innocent men woman and children or be killed. Majority of German's were living under fear - your on Hilters side or against him. I would take my own life before id ever kill an innocent person - but many never.

   i agree with Colzi, hitler was a messed-up little man and if you refused to do what he ordered you to do its your head. kill or be killed. no, it was not right what they did, but the point of argue is that either way it was bound to happen. if one nazi defied hitler, hitler would kill him to set an example on the other nazis. it would ultimately be a lose - lose situation. ill hold the rest off until i see more replys :wink:

   Yea - it'll be interesting too see how many would live and kill innocent men woman and children. Im doubting very few! I couldnt stand their and shoot a child - cant believe many did by the hundreds.

   Colzi you said......"I couldnt stand there and shoot a child - cant believe many did by the hundreds". Depends if the child was coming towards you with a pinless grenade perhaps Colzi? War is war.....all bets are off. But this is about the Head Honchos who organized and condoned the Nazi machine, came up with the final solution and implemented it (and all the other goodies).....not the regular soldiers, but the Nazi equivalents of Saddam and his Top Bully Boys.

   Can we PLEASE not make this about GWB and how very evil America is.......... just this once?! Well, to gauge how feasible this proposition is we must first turn to Bush's involvement and consequently the pretext for the Iraq war, which... :mrgreen: I think it's pretty simple really: some find death sentences morally objectionable, regardless of the circumstances, and this same clique would've felt the same about the consequential executions of the Nuremberg trials, and I'm sure that if you returned to this period of our history these people were as vocal then as they are now. It's a cause celebre unconstrained by period or personage, IMO.
