Nazi Hermit

No, you're bigoted against someone who tried to earn money to feed their family by being a flunky guard, merely because they happen to belong to the SS. That's the logic fallacy of 'guilt by association'.

My Polish ancestors have first hand experience regarding Nazi oppression and brutality. Yet I'm hardly going to fault some kid for merely fighting for his country, and getting his legs amputated in the process.

Well who knows what the deal was with this guy, maybe he was just crazy. He seemed to be well-liked by the community.

... maybe he was just crazy. ....

agreed. There is no proof he was a Nazi or SS, other than what he supposedly told one person. I can't understand why people believed it.

Yeah, I think they said the same things about those Nazi war criminals in Argentina, didn't they?

If the guy is wanted as a war criminal, then he should pay the price. If he was just a member of the SS, then that don't mean jack shit.

Precisely, Baron. Although apparently some people think that merely being a member of the SS constitutes a war crime. Guilt by association.
