“He was found guilty with plenty of evidence to show it.”

The Supreme court of Israel doesn’t agree with you. And in any case, to have *Germans*, trying Ukrainians, for events occuring 1941-44,,should raise an eyebrow.
Especially when so many high ranking of their own got to live out their lives.

“In Panzer Leader, Guderian said that he was fully aware of the brutal occupation policies of the German administration of Ukraine, claiming that this was wholly the responsibility of civilians, about whom he could do nothing.”
Retired openly in Schwangau, in the Bavarian Alps,,

Peiper of the SS Malmedy Murders,,, landed in a nice executive position at Porsche.

Reinhard Gehlen,, Nazi Intellegence leader,,Worked for the CIA, and headed German Intelligence from the mid 50s. He retired from government service in 1968, receiving the pension of a Ministerialdirektor (one of the most senior civil service grades),plus, allegedly, a pension from the CIA. He died in 1979 at the age of 77. Made a “Knight of Malta” in the 60s.

SS man Von Braun. Who has the distiction of building a weapons system that murdered more in the construction factory, than killed on the battlefield. Wound up with a nice retirement gig with NASA.

So does it strike you as a bit odd, so much effort was brought to bear against someone who at BEST was a ukrainian national, concripted as a camp guard to avoid being in the camp too? And with thin evidence,,, despite widely known solid evidence against others who were not pursued, or were lightly punished?

If Israel didn’t find him guilty, you can rest assured he was not guilty. That should have been the end of it.

except for the fact that Soviet Archives PROVED the evidence was false.

He may or may not have done whatever. He certainly was NOT Ivan the terrible of Sobibor and was PROVED innocent of those charges by none other than the Israeli Supreme Court.

Legal technical glitch. They said they did not consider him innocent just not proven guilty.

“PROVED innocent “

Legal technical glitch. They said they did not consider him innocent just not proven guilty.

Technical legal glitches kept him alive, not any innocence.

Not being the camp commandante "Ivan The Terrible" is a little bit more than a "technical legal glitch". It's more like a royal f&&& up on the part of the people trying to convict him.

Wrong. The Soviet archives showed that the ID card was made by the KGB, The evidence was not only weak it was damn near nonexistent!

CodeToad is clearly indicative of why Demjanjuk was hounded even after Israel made its determination. Some people just can’t let go of things they’re “sure” of despite the evidence or lack of it. This was a witch hunt.

And that is exactly how a proper justice system is supposed to work. I’m pretty sure if you asked any prosecutor, he’d tell you every defendant he ever tried was guilty but that dad-gum proof thing sure seemed to get in the way a lot.
