Germany's top Nazi Hunter, Kurt Schrimm in on mission! |
Ludwigsburg, Germany--Germany's
Central Office for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes is located in
this picturesque hamlet close to Stuttgart.
The head honcho of this
Nazi-hunting agency is Kurt Schrimm. Schrimm
is on a desperate mission to round up as many as 50 former guards from the
Auschwitz concentration Camp believed to still be alive.
Schrimm will not have to run
fast after these guys because the old fugitives are well into their 90’s and
have canes, walkers and wheelchairs. Others are blind, deaf or suffering from
dementia.
What Schrimm lacks is
convincing eyewitness testimony of the alleged crimes. Schrimm will try to make these cases using
old Nazi records that seem to place the men at Auschwitz during the time when
atrocities were committed.
Considering name similarities
and the hearsay nature of these records this questionable legal quest seems incredibly
complicated and flawed.
There is no Statute of
Limitations preventing prosecution but there comes a point in time when the
quest for justice is purely symbolic but in reality totally meaningless.
I don’t suggest for a moment
that some or even all of the men were not involved in mass government sponsored
murder and kidnapping. The difficulty
will be to separate the criminals from those conscripts that somehow avoided
committing atrocities. There were many
cooks, clerks and medical workers within the ranks of the camp staff.
The last man tried for War Crimes was
retired Cleveland autoworker and naturalized U.S. citizen, John Demjanjuk. Demjanjuk was tried convicted, sentenced to
hang and was later cleared by an Israeli Court.
Nonetheless Demjanjuk was rearrested by Schrimm's agents and tried again in Munich and
convicted. He was sentenced to a nursing
home where he peacefully died soon thereafter.
The irony was that the old man would have been confined to a bed no
matter the outcome of the expensive and meaningless show trial.
Demjanjuk’s case was long fraught
with despicable shenanigans committed by the U.S. Office of Special
Investigations that essentially framed him with forged documents. The OSI was struggling for funding and needed
to justify its existence as a government agency at the time.
What the Nazi’s did to fellow
Germans, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Communists and Jews was shocking. Hitler’s regime murdered six million of their
castigated minorities but it’s somehow forgotten that over nine million
German’s also perished under the Nazis.
The U.S. Office of Special
Investigations and Germany’s Central Office for the Investigation of National
Socialist Crimes has outlived their usefulness.
They need to shutter their doors and fade away like the old Nazis
they’ve been chasing.
It would make more sense to
create better safeguards in every government preventing government tyranny and murder under color
of law.
After the Holocaust surviving
Jews began to chant, “Never again!” The
fact is that history is replete with acts of genocide and government sponsored
mass murder. It will happen again and
again as long as humans roam this earth.
It will happen again. Watch the movie Compliance then look up Milgram experiment as well as the Stanford prison study.
ReplyDeleteYour right this "Nazi hunter" is just a waste of time. Will it happen again? obama seems to think so.Fema camps my butt.If the gov. try's to take the guns it will more than likely start another civil war.It's just my belief but just hearing people talk they are sick of government in this country. They are sick and tired of being lied too,IE: Benghazi, Fast and Furious ETC.WE must elect new leadership.
