I do feel sorry for the young children of Nazi war criminals who many of them may have lived in the shadow of hate by others for who their parents were.
Nobody can blame the children. Just like you can't blame the Jews for the Nazis. And you can't blame the Nazis on the children of the Nazis. Take the Hitler Youth. This is where things get terribly complicated. These 'children aged somewhere between 7 and 16' in the 1930s were heavily indoctrinated and forced into the hitler youth. You cannot blame them either. It was the system in that case. It's really scary how propaganda can totally shape a person. In many ways Nazi Germany is a clear example of how nurture can be a powerful influence on how we turn out. Nature clearly has a place but nurture is also a big part of our character once we enter adulthood and it STAYS with us for rest of our lives even if we sometimes manage to suppress our childhood influences, it never fully leaves.

Britishers were bad, Nazis were worse and japanese were the worst. All of them did the same thing actually. Britishers too did the same thing just by using different methods.

Actually I think they are no different from each other.

@@mitchrichardsl1532 Yes very easy if you have the numbers on your side, so again too few good apples, that is if the metaphor of apples is clear to you.

And how West Germany refused every single extradition request from the USSR, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, etc. From the time of the Federal Republic's creation, it was an endless parade of the worst Nazis being released, again and again.

The citizens of this town never telepathize at me and then say that if he telepathed he would be mentally ill.
An interesting contrast to the claims of innocence or lack of knowledge of the camps, was the trial of the Einsatzgruppen leaders - some of whom were actually proud of their 'work'. The documentary 'Prosecuting Evil', about Ben Ferencz and his prosecution at Nuremberg of these men is fascinating. The human ability to rationalize even heinous behavior is amazing - the 'just following orders' defense being typical.

They moved to France and my.mother at the age of 15, was sexually assaulted and as a 'finale' had a swastika carved into her back. It covers almost the entire back.

Careful to share one of the most profound statements you read?
There are those among us who wish to repeat the atrocities committed by the Nazis. We can never allow that.
Those who wish to repeat the atrocities that the Nazis had done must be quite sick in their minds or just plain evil. You're right. We shall not let that happen again.
Who will give justice to the 3 million Bengalis who were killed by Churchill ??
Justice is nothing but just a joke !!
You act like Churchill wanted to purposefully do that over some sick ambition.
Many if not most of the Nazi criminals had been in their 20's and 30's in the 1920's and had enjoyed the jazzy music and flapper styles. All the older Jewish prisoners had also been young adults in the 1920's and enjoyed the same culture. It's so hard to reconcile such a bright, cheerful time with what came 20 years later!
Weren't the Europeans devastated by WW1? I might be wrong but I think jazz and flappers were just an American thing.
@@LaMach420 Yes, but it was a big thing in Europe as well! Their music was just as good and sometimes better than in the US! Listen to the Savoy Orpheans at the Savoy Hotel in London!
Weimar Germany was a cesspit of filth and corruption. Cleaning up the moral degeneracy was one of Hitler's chief objectives.
Is “following orders” even a valid excuse? Even if the order is unethical?
Absolutely not, but research has shown that people are generally more likely to follow orders under pressure than listen to their moral compasses, even if others’ lives are at stake. Just look up Milgram’s test.
"I was just following orders" is not a defense, but an admission of guilt.
Of course it is. If it wasn't, then police and government corruption wouldn't be at the level it is today.
Yes it is because you would immediately get shot if you dont follow them
@@harmankang6883 Only issue is there isn't any evidence to support that position.
There are plenty of Wehrmacht/SS documents talking about transferring soldiers who were "not fit for the task" to other duties, but none showing that someone who objected being executed.
This must have been an especially painful process for the surviving Nazi leaders. To go from masters of all of Europe yesterday to this inglorious and shabby end in a courtroom. Ouch. Hitler was too vain to ever go out like this.
Himmler and Goebbels were both cowards and killed themselves, they knew what they had done.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, war criminals convicted by an international tribunal in Hague have schools and streets bear their names. It is directed by the top of Serbian politics. Denial of genocide has become a practice, although it has been proven in international court. That does not lead to anything good. Fascism lives in Bosnia and Herzegovina and history repeats itself.

@@DWDocumentary you stuck to the truth which is very important because a lot of documentaries try to embellish or lessen certain things just to get a broader appeal.

One other thing. Have you ever thought of doing a documentary on Geli Rabaul because she has a very little known story in the fact that there has been controversy throughout the decades about whether or not she was killed or committed suicide and also about the fact that she may have been pregnant by Hitler himself.

I do feel sorry for the young children of Nazi war criminals who many of them may have lived in the shadow of hate by others for who their parents were.
I see your point. I wonder if there is a video of interviews with children of war criminals who lived in the shadow of crimes done by their fathers.
@@georgebrown8312yes there are
Look up Gudrun Burwitz, daughter of Heinrich Himmler. She died only 4 years ago in 2018.
Nobody can blame the children. Just like you can't blame the Jews for the Nazis. And you can't blame the Nazis on the children of the Nazis.
Take the Hitler Youth. This is where things get terribly complicated. These 'children aged somewhere between 7 and 16' in the 1930s were heavily indoctrinated and forced into the hitler youth. You cannot blame them either. It was the system in that case. It's really scary how propaganda can totally shape a person. In many ways Nazi Germany is a clear example of how nurture can be a powerful influence on how we turn out. Nature clearly has a place but nurture is also a big part of our character once we enter adulthood and it STAYS with us for rest of our lives even if we sometimes manage to suppress our childhood influences, it never fully leaves.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians died, who was held for that slaughter , it's dog eat dog Victor's & vanquished.

Britishers were bad, Nazis were worse and japanese were the worst. All of them did the same thing actually. Britishers too did the same thing just by using different methods. They too did that to millions of people. The one who was held accountable was Germany only. Neither British nor Japan paid for what they did. But in our hearts, we know what they did. Actually I think they are no different from each other.

An interesting contrast to the claims of innocence or lack of knowledge of the camps, was the trial of the Einsatzgruppen leaders - some of whom were actually proud of their 'work'. The documentary 'Prosecuting Evil', about Ben Ferencz and his prosecution at Nuremberg of these men is fascinating. The human ability to rationalize even heinous behavior is amazing - the 'just following orders' defense being typical.

I'm afraid that the United States has dirty hands regarding Iraq. How much suffering, misery, long-lasting despair, death, widows and orphans was brought to the Iraqi people by the leadership of the US at that time.
