13. I am not condoning what the Nazis did and they did a lot of
really horrible things.

However, how far down the ladder should the hatred reach? This guy was at the lowest level of the Nazi machine with no authority to change the course of history.

Granted that the believers and authority figures responsible for the holocaust should be pursued and punished. He was a lowly pawn in the scheme of things and is being singled out only because he was proven not to be the dreaded "Ivan the Terrible."

If he is to be punished, let's catch all 80 and 90 year olds who served at the level of his rank back then. Why just him?
