He wasn't impressed into service. He was a Russian soldier, captured by the Germans and as a POW volunteered for service in the SS.
Indeed. Good description of the Nazis.

It's sort of beyond the appropriate time to punish this kindly former guard at a concentration camp. He should have been put up against a wall and shot long ago.
So did Sarah Jane Olson - after she was a terrorist bomber.
Actually, by serving in "the armed services of a foreign state," Lindh may already have lost his US citizenship. Other ways are, formally renouncing US citizenship before a US consular officer overseas and surrendering one's US passport, serving in the government of a foreign country, making an oath or declaration to a foreign state, being naturalized in a foreign state.
It would be up to the State Department to decide whether JWL still retains US citizenship. If he does not, he can't really be tried for treason, only deported to Afghanistan possibly on grounds of being an "undesirable alien."
The Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations was under pressure from Congress to conduct a successful prosecution. Rep. Joshua Eilberg wanted to keep his constituents happy.
I was wondering the same thing when I saw the guy's name. This was the guy PJB was out in front of defending.
Go Pat Go......away.
Persecuting this man is a terroristic bomb--bumbler!
Good News For The Day
‘He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whom it falls will be crushed.’ (Matthew 21:44)
In his parable of the tenants, Jesus looks across the years of Israel's covenant privilege, and gives his interpretation of them. He sees that Israel's history can be stated in terms of its refusal to recognize Him-the rejected stone. Through the prophetic ministry, Christ had made many pre-incarnational appeals to his people. "How often would I have gathered you together, even as a hen gathers her chickens."
Thus did Jesus claim deep involvement in his nation's history. The Jews had stumbled over the Christ of the Old Testament. Many times the people had been humbled and broken through its rejection of his claims. So it may be with us. Our life story can be understood as the tale of a person engaged in a... quest to make terms with the Stone-with Christ.
From the beginning, Christ has been present to us. Our first meeting with him was through the warmth and love of our mother; then our father, and later, teachers and mentors. Christ has been there in providence; in good and ill. We have bumped into him time and again, in our attempts to be free of his claims. We have fought tooth and nail for our freedom from God. We have been burned and bruised repeatedly. These seasons of brokenness have been gracious. They have been signs to us, that life will not work any other way but Christ's way.
God enable me to discern the ministry of Jesus, the Stone, in my life.
I've never even seen one myself but I hear they are everywhere and we must be ever on alert. There are more of them than there are Muslim terrorists and former gulag guards combined!
But aren't they getting kinda old? Still a threat I guess tho...
