Good.
There is a reason there is no statute of limitations on crimes this heinous.

You're the reason Hell exists.

This old man is the reason hell exists.

So people on here think its ok for someone to let thousands of people get murdered and tortured to not pay the consequences? One man commits murder, he gets life, but this guy gets to walk in your opinion? HELL NO, this guy knew what he was doing, he loved it, he enjoyed it. No way you could stay and go through all that and not enjoy it, anyone that think he should walk is as bad as him in my book.

Wait, you think he chose to do these things?

Oh boy..

If you know ANYTHING, ANYTHING about Nazi Germany, then you should probably assume that him saying 'no' would result in a lot of prison time at least, if not death.

Give him a year or something. I don't see the need for him to be locked up for a decade. A year or two is good enough for me.

I dont think they should charge him now. I mean he is 94 I doubt he will be living that much longer anyways.

I'm done with this world, someone who helped kill millions of people, should only get a year or two really? They were my Gods people mostly, 6 million Jews died, and he helped kill them. No I don't care if he is 20 or 100, he should pay for what he did.

It's good that they're still looking into this.

However, he's too old. I understand some people want him to "rot in prison"

I mean, he's almost there.

Everyone should stop with the "he was just following orders" nonsense.. Al Qaeda suicide bombers were just "following orders." That is by far the most overused tactic that nazi soldiers hid behind during the Nuremburg trials (Hitler told me to, I can't think for myself) as if Hitler would have come to power in the first place if it weren't for the pre-existing antisemitism. And he is being accused of over 3,000 accessory to murder charges and people want him to just be able to live out his life free? Nope, he should face the music, age is irrelevant here.

AQ suicide bombers were definitely not following orders, nor are they. They are driven by an ideology and do so whenever they see fit or when they're ready.

These arguments make me think of the film Collateral.

This man may have allowed the camp to continue functioning, and by proxy, allowed the deaths of 1.1 million people, even if he was forced under the threat of death to do so.

In Collateral, a taxi driver is forced by a hitman to drive him around the city to his target's locations. If he doesn't the hitman will kill him.
The noble thing for the taxi driver to do is refuse to help. He will die, and the hitman will find someone else to drive him.
He could refuse to help, and try to kill the hitman, but the hitman is obviously going to win that fight, and find someone else to drive him.

So what can this man really do which will be of any help from such a powerless position?

On the one hand we want justice for what he did, but on the other hand we think he should have given his life up for no reason other than nobility and the brief disruption it might have caused while they brought in another officer?

The only solution to the taxi driver issue would be if every single taxi driver who was forced to help refused... and I guess that's the point.
