Life imprisonment could be as little as two weeks. But he's sorry. What to do.

Unfortunately, I believe he should be shot at dawn

Just end it...

I really can not understand the madness of WWII and the insanity of the lack of humanity at the time

Just end him as another example and may God have mercy on him.

I watched Schindler’s list once and will never watch it again.

I still well with tears each time I watch Saving Private Ryan and the Jewish fellow breaking down in tears, after they take the German position.

KcuF the Nazi’s z their soldiers, collaborators and anyone else involved in that insanity...

17 years old.

He lived almost his entire life under the Hitler propaganda regime.

By 1945, Germany was literally collapsing on every front, and the German homeland was being systematically destroyed by USA and British bombers.

But, 76 years later, he is being held responsible for his teenage war time decisions?

Sorry - I think this specific prosecution is completely misguided.

Is he any worst than a doctor that performs abortions?

This is the one modern genocide the “left” actually pretends to care about, so we must pause for a moment of silence.

Seriously there’s any of these left alive ??? (18 year olds at end of war would be 74+18= 92 !!!)

Those commercials for christian help for jews in russia (alleged “holocaust” survivors) make them out to be ~4 years old during WW2 - which would have been instant death if ever sent to a concentration camp (so most likely weren’t).

Its getting to the tail end of the people involved.

It doesn’t sound like an easy case to weigh to my ears, assuming the information given is accurate. When will we begin hunting down any and all soviet soldiers who happened to be stationed at the Gulags during Stalin’s reign of terror? How about Vietnamese, Chinese or Cambodians? When does justice come to them?

It seems this man is guilty mostly of cowardice, and in a regime like the Nazis, especially being at the end and seeing it’s history, it’s not too difficult to excuse one trying to avoid being the proud nail that gets hammered down or yanked out even if you don’t like the board you’re in.

I’m also of the opinion that one of the greatest crimes of the Nazi leadership was the systematic brainwashing of the youth via control of the schools and media. Something like what’s happening today but taken to it’s logical conclusion. To say this 17 year old raised in the Reich was fully competent to make a conscious decision at that time is to erase some of the culpability of the leadership by nullifying the effectiveness of their propaganda and control. There’s a problem with saying the Nazis were evil for brainwashing the next generation and at the same time saying one of those victims was fully capable of acting within a correct moral framework. Those two things can’t both be true.

He would have been a 19 year old private in 1945.

Labeling him responsible for 5,000 murders is a bit of a stretch.

Folks, one can easily sit in your chair and pass judgement. But what would we do in the situation?

His life is on the line also. If he stood up and said it was wrong, he would have been sent to the Russian front. Wouldn’t have changed a thing, except he wouldn’t be on trial now.

Pray that you and I are never put in the situation, But it is possible that it is coming..........................

A 17 year old draftee.

How much control could he have?

He is a liar. The SS did not draft men into service. It was an elite unit that men first volunteered to join. Training was vigorous, much more so than the regular army. They graduated only once they pledged a rather debased oath to the Nazi party and to Adolf Hitler.

Given his lies, I have no sympathy for him.

The question of a trial for this old old man is moot. Should he be punished for what he did so many decades ago?

The real trial for him (and for all of us) will come at death.

God will be the Judge of his life. Will Mr. Dey’s name be found in the Book of Life?

I hope so.
