Holocaust Trials

"some people can be manipulated to perform tasks".... exactly...

its not really their fault...therefore they should arguably not be held accountable for what they were psychologically/physically forced to do....so charges against them stand unjustified

Oh I misread in the beginning, my apologies.

They are certainly NOT justified. The nazis live a considerably happy and free life whereas the millions of lives they affected are forever depressed from the norm

Are you saying the actions of the nazi's aren't justified or war crimes aren't justified?

 

[C_Town_Hero]

well, some of the nazis were just doing what they were told. they didnt know about the whole lesbenraum concept that hitler has planned. ( anything other than german is taking up german air.)

People are saying the germans did wrong by joining the army so they are able to save their family...
But, aren't the allies doing the same thing ? Killing the Germans in order to save their own civilization ?
What's the difference ?

Are you implying civilians aren't a part of war? I'm sorry but they are. They are encompassed in whole act that both countries are taking part in.

Religion extremists are not being threatened by the individual nor are they being threatened from the group as a whole.In an extremist's case their interpreting their holy book/scripture/etc however they see fit which means this idea comes from an individuals mind and their own morality justifies it.

I'd understand if the enemy were hiding amongst the civilians, sort of like using them as a shield to protect themselves whilst still harming your nation. But, the idea of "they killed our civilians, so we'll kill theirs" imo is just wrong.

Total war is just that though. Total war.

Civilians are apart of it whether they are in the military or not. Now many countries and generals are against the practice of attacking civilians, however we can't eliminate the possibility that it can and will be done. They're potential soldiers that would become a threat if unchecked.

It's like Japan during WWII, their civilians were able to become soldiers and fight to the death without even missing a beat.
