The Nazi camps where cattle slaughtering yards not Concentration camps.
The west's worst in recent times is Guantanamo bay. Even with its torture and sensory deprivation it does not compare to the Nazi Death camps.
My father once said to me after I had criticized the Japanese "Don't you
EVER let me hear you criticising the Japanese--because
WE did just as bad back to them".
He never spoke of his war experiences but I now know he buried his whole platoon in the jungles of Borneo. The war screwed him up for life.
Contrast this with the attitude of some WW2 veterans who won't buy a Japanese or Italian car!
Some WW2 war stories are just emerging now. Like the New Guinea native tribe that captured a whole lot of Japanese during WW2. They decided they couldn't eat them as they were "White Mans' enemy" so after much deliberation they decided that they should be punished the "White Mans' way".
So they crucified them to trees all up the Markham valley.
How come the war criminal Wernher von Braun got a"get out of jail free card"? Designing and developing terror weapons, to kill civilians, does not make a war criminal?
Please read "
Stalingrad" it will make you feel sorry for the Germans!
