Too old to stand trial but the child wasn’t too old to be stomped to death. It’s amazing how relaxed the Justice system was of the crimes these women committed.
The germans were lucky that we were fighting the cold war with Russia,because they wouldnt of gotten off so easy.Even the german women are wicked.What nasty monsters
All the nazis got off easy. Only 11 ppl hung. So nuts
@@JohnSmith-jz4pkagree. Why were there even trials?! Shit was obvious. Any who had anything to do with the genocide needed to be purged like a disease.
It was a travesty of justice.
What you expect it was woman women never get punished how they deserve
My ex was born fifty years too late to find the perfect job for her personality 👀
Beat me to it
are you the victim or the persecuteur (lol)
Mine too. She would have been perfect 😝
Damn you too ? My ex was a large woman of German descent and a real brutal sadist type ! Perfect concentration camp guard!
Oh my God. You all have my sympathy & condolences. It’s a shame but 10% of society falls into what I call: “the wackjob 10%.” Sociopaths, Psychopaths, criminals, “high conflict people.” Always angry, never take personal responsibility.
It took me decades of dating to find the right woman. If I may give two pieces of advice.
1. Only get involved with women who have/had good relationships with their fathers. The ones with bad relationships with their dads will be a nightmare. Don’t even think about wasting your time playing therapist and fixing them.
2. Here is my own rule I wish I followed more often when I was single: take a woman out for an inexpensive, casual first date, coffee/Starbucks is good for this..something similar. Go out of your way to pay for their drink. I found 60% of the women would not even say “thank you” when I paid. Never call them again, when they are this poorly mannered. You will thank me later.
As an history teacher I never pulled my punches. When teaching about the camps I would show my classes some truly horrific photographs, and tell the students the full stories behind them. Before the end of the lesson many in the room would be sobbing, and as they left I used to get many thank me, and later parents would also do the same, for having told them what they all felt was something they needed to know. When I taught there was limited information about the role of women in the camps, and it was necessary for me to gloss over the topic. I have to say that it was even worse than I thought, and despite my years of dealing with this period in history, I found it very disturbing.
Thank you Dr Felton for your efforts in researching and presenting this information. How I wish I'd known then more of the facts that you present in your videos.
Thank you for teaching the truth about the concentration camps and showing the photographs.

@U WinTV W-R-O-N-G ABOUT THAT DUMMY 🤡
@U WinTV You're the one who decided to bring American politics into this. If you really nave to go that route, the Democrat party isn't exactly spotless either. Meanwhile you miss the point about democracy. It's actually not only a blame game. It's also about trying to find ways of making the world better. Do you not wonder how easily the USA has run down the shitter, while the two parties were busy playing the blame game? I think you can do better.
Did you think to go over how and why they were driven to a level to do something like this or did you just play it off like they did it for no reson what so ever?
Why would anyone dislike Marks videos/documentaries? He’s literally just telling the truth. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Idiots dislike videos based on the topics even if they enjoy the video
While in the service I worked with a guy that worked at different US prisons. He said that he would rather work at a male prison than a female prison. He said the woman were far more conniving, and in some ways more cruel than male inmates.
Men tend to be more direct in their thinking and actions while women tend to be more abstract.
@@snugswashere6504 - that means conniving
I've read a book to effect that it was one of the reasons why after one of wars israel withdrew women from frontline service. Also, there was a study about american gangs confirming pretty much the same.
They become "Butchie" in proving they are as tough and formidable as any male... Cruel they become

Yeh there still out there I can imagine( carrie lam )lamb Currie )as an ss guard !sadistic power mad and bowing down to her leader in Beijing !
and we're still doing it today - in Africa there are dozens of wars going on - tribe vs. tribe or religious and they're equally brutal.
Wow. FCK! Powerful. The thought of a woman stomping a child to death. Too fking much. At the same time I wonder if they were victims too. Without choice. You couldn't choose to do that. Could you?
its more horrifying when you realize that some of these people are actually just 'normal'
Many years ago one of my work colleagues was "Smithy" a carpenter, He was one of the very first of British troops to enter Bergen Belsen camp. he and another 18-year soldier stood guard over Joseph Krammer the camp commandant, Krammer was a tall burly swine, and Smithy said he got on their nerves as Krammer paced up and down the wooden hut all night. Smithy also acted as escort to the war correspondent Richard Dimbleby. They came to a mass grave in which children had been placed for burial, Richard Dimbleby asked Smithy to step down into the grave and be a size reference as he wanted to take a photograph, , Dimbleby quietly assured Smithy that this would be for his own record and not for public publication, Smithy had photographs to back up his story. R.I.P Smithy.
I wonder what Smithy thought of holocaust deniers?
Funny how many nazis actually had Jewish names, such as Joseph, Peter, David, John, Anders, Filip, Paul, Thomas, Johann etc. etc.
@@AdamHiley-pj2zn : yep.

Excellent job, as always, sir. I appreciate your ability to stick to the facts without missing the moral dimension in the process. A+!
Many of these woman received light sentences compared to the male guards. Germany did a very poor job in dealing with these female guards. Nuremberg trials did no better!
Female privilege duh
The Nuremberg trial was all scam those judges who were giving out punishment where we'll known Nazis,
The majority of male and female Nazi criminals only had light sentences due to the reason, that the US Government needed them to quickly establish a western German vassel state to block the Soviet's sphere of influence.

Human cruelty is nothing new, nor exclusive to anywhere on the globe.
These dregs of society are lurking in every country. Weather or not they will be empowered is up to you.
Proof of the validity of your statement can be found in recent news. This is proof that the US is no exception. Least someone jump in with their own twist on my words, I am speaking specifically of ANTIFA and BLM.
Or separating children from their parents. That is very cruel.
Agreed, all you need to do is force an idea into people's heads. And what we have seen in this video. Is the end result.
Fascism, a word first used by Bennito Mussolini to describe the merger of corporate power with government power. More well known, is the racism used by Hitler to divide a nation against itself and quickly rise to and gain more power.

Excellent work Dr. Mark Felton-this part of history needs to be shared no matter how cruel and gory it was. Thank you for sharing.
I love these longer videos. I enjoy listening to them whilst I go about my day. Most people listen to music whilst doing their chores - I listen to Mark Felton.
Isn’t it fantastic when no matter how heinous, gut wrenching and despicable the crime(s), your old age is your best defence. It was used back then and parasitic lawyers still use it today.
How is that a valid argument? Yea your old now but you weren't when you committed the crime. O
Lawyers do sometimes use and are sometimes obliged to use the old age and infirmity of the their elderly as a sort of defense. It hardly makes them "parasitic." Labeling human beings parasites is an old game both you and the Nazis seem to play with relish.
Not fair to the lawyers . They are paid to defend these people doesn't mean they like the person they are defending .
This puts "Frau Engel" from the Wolfenstein series into a whole lot of historical context
Also her affair with the young officer 😂😂😂 boobee
Helga von Schabbs from Wolfenstein: The Old Blood also
Also the female elite soldiers of the 2001 "Return to Castle Wolfenstein"
The "exploitation" genre of movies from the 1970's had a whole string of films based on these women, most infamously, 'Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS'.
I very rarely comment on videos. This is one of the most powerful videos from you. A reminder to us all. I served in the army during Desert Storm... seen things that Iraqis did in Kuwait. Mindbogling what people do to each other... please keep your videos coming and have a great Christmas.
The women were crueler than the men?
What a surprise.
Of course they had to prove that they was more cruel then the male to be excepted they too was abuse and brain washed

Belsen also held an uncle of mine. He was a British soldier who had escaped too many times from his POW camp, on the last occasion been captured by the SS and ordered by the Gestapo to be put into Belsen. He managed to survive the ordeal.
Could he speak anything besides English? Otherwise I see no way he could have survived
@@kaiserin7814 There we’re many languages spoken in the camps, because unfortunately, the Nazis hated everyone. People picked up phrases and some very blessed souls were able to live. Most were not so blessed.
Yet again Dr Felton I’m truly astounded at the level of detail in your programs, they stand alone in there quality and content, you sir are eminent in your roll as a historian.
Hello,.... My Husband is telling this story.. I'm only typing it for him, When I was a international Truck Driver, I had loaded gunnery Equipment for the British Army of the Rhine, but All I had on my Delivery note was " Honer " west Germany, and driving all night from Ostend, I arrived at Honer about 5 am, I thought to myself, the army camp must be easy to find, but I was wrong, so I drove around Honer without success, until I spotted a German , so I stopped and asked where the British Army camp was, and he replied.. 80 km's away and he showed me on my map. Dam I thought... so started driving to my new destination, as I approached Honer, I picked up the signs for the army camp... all I had to do was follow the Red arrow, However the town name changed from Honer to... "Belson-Honer" and I soon reached the camp, While the soldiers were unloading my truck, the officer in charge asked me if I had my breakfast yet, to which I replied.. I hadnt, The officer send.. come with me and took me to the officers mess, and he stayed with me while I was having breakfast, while I was eating I asked him... is this the Belson concentration camp ? to whichy he repied.. no... this building use to be the SS Barracks, but the concentration camp is about 1 km down the road but, do yourself a favor... dont go there,... So what did I do... yes, I went there, and to this Day, I wish I hadnt...
Annette...gives meaning to the phrase "you cannot unsee".
@@marinazagrai1623 Brilliant 😂 Interesting story though
Some of your facts are wrong :) It was called Bergen-Hohne (not Honer or Belson-Honer) and the old Belsen concentration camp site is about 3km from the main Bergen-Hohne camp. I don't know which Officers mess you are referring to as there were several around the camp as British, German and Dutch military were stationed there. It's a big camp, which I was stationed at for four years in the 1970's.

@Danny Kramer if they were true ? Oxygen theft is nothing to be proud of.
@Danny Kramer yes the real story of human history is a halcyon one of uninterrupted peace.
It horrifies me to know that people, both men and women, could be so hateful, cruel, brutal and inhumane to other human beings. Such a heartbreaking, unfathomable, dark time for the human race.
I worked in the prison system for many years and can honestly say I would choose working with men 100% over women.
What would you say is the main reason for that?
The very nearly complete lack of justice for what these mindless monsters did, is appalling, and makes those people who decided to let it go unpunished, every bit as guilty.
Considering what the Russians and Americans did during the war, I think its complete overkill. But then again they lost so I guess that's who takes 100% of the blame.
What could they do? Germany was bombed back to the Stone Age, everywhere was starving, typhus spread like wild fire. The conditions created in these camps were partly due to allied unrestricted bombing campaign. And yes, Soviets were just as bad. I’m not condoning these terrible scenes but the emotional boo boo stories seem to overtake objectivity

2018? I just seen a story where they just arrested a "secretary" from Stuthoff a few hours ago. She's in her 90's, they won't identify her and say she will face a juvenile court because she was a minor when she was "assistant" to the camp kommandt. (almost certainly Paul-Werner Hoppe).

“Poetic justice” to force the S.S. guards to bury prisoners and not letting them use masks or gloves? Felton, you are a high thinker.
The poetic justice was that they died of typhus like the prisoners' did
Murderous Fascists deserve no mercy.
@@MasterAdam100 I have to agree.
@@MasterAdam100 the thing about Due Process is that the law though process makes the determination as to who is a Murderous Fascist, not the cop on the scene. If you don’t defer to Due Process, then you can hang the label of Murderous Fascist on anyone just because they are at the scene of a crime or they are part of a disfavored, ethnic minority that has strange or even dangerous ideas. Murderous Fascists are murderous fascists not because the kill people (the best people in the best countries are okay with killing people), but because they do not afford all their people certain rights like Due Process.
@@9879SigmundS Yes. Any SS person at the 'scene of the crime', i.e. Nazi extermination camp, is a murderous fascist and deserves everything they get.

This channel is growing fast and rightfully so! 👍
As much as it's very horrific, I am glad it's not forgotten these terrible deaths and the persons responsible. I was surprised the Gestapo actually tried their own. Good video
Growing up in the 80s and 90s in germany, the sentences „This is the past“, „This is forbidden“ or „Dont ask too many questions“ were the most common sentences i heard.
And these generations of Germans born after WW11 are not responsible for the father or garndfathers, and should left in peace
In which area of Germany did you grow up? I am German, born in 1959. 2hat you described was for sure true in the fifties and sixties, but changed during the seventieth.
In the 80s and 90s questions were asked a lot, fortunately.
@@clemenskeuer7131 i grew up by the baltic sea in the north of germany.
@@MercyShot83 The question is now: east or west. In the west it was a taboo until the students revolts in 1968, to ask those questions. While in East Germany - as my relatives in Mecklenburg told me - the official party line was, that all nazis had fled to the west after 1945. Which was nonsense of course. So, better not to ask questions...
@@clemenskeuer7131 in my case it was western germany. It was not taboo to talk about it but the people where very reluctant to talk about certain things. Especially the older folks. Most people which i met where not too open all around. Never the less i had a good childhood there.
As experiments such as Milgram's Experiment on Obedience to Authority have shown anyone given a uniform and a position of authority is likley to abuse that power and those under them.
So whilst we obviously rightfully condemn these women, dont be so sure you wouldn't do something similar if you found yourself in such a situation. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn states... "The line between good and evil is drawn down the middle of every mans heart".
Exactly, we are all capable of great cruelty. Every single one of us. All it takes is the belief that you are superior to another group of humans. We see this attitude everywhere in modern politics, across the political spectrum. Extremism is growing.
This was an EXCELLENT video with the pictures. I did know of some of these women, but not as many as he told about here . and especially all the details I have never heard before. I was shocked also to know some are still living today, although rather old. I am good friends with a German woman who was a child during the war. She was bombed on in her German city night and day. She had some interesting stories. Sh is living in Canada and I met her and her husband about 7 years ago when they came down to meet me here in Kentucky. I took them to the Dayton Air Force Museum, where they had a real B17G that actually had bombed Germany. She wanted to see it. When we got to it, she just stood there , looking and started sobbing. I told her to come up to it and touch it.. and she did. touching the chin turret. she seemed to get great relief from it. They also have statues of German children being given Chocolate bars by American soldiers.. she saw that and just shook her head yes and said, that is correct. That is exactly how it was. She said the Americans were always nice to them, the British were not mean but weren't as friendly as the Americans, but still they were fine, but the RUSSIANS, they all feared and stayed away from them. her name is Gudrun.
That B17 is "Shoo Shoo Baby." I remember about 1990 when Baby flew into Dayton.
She was moved out of the museum when "Memphis Belle" was put in. (Don't worry, the Belle also bombed Germany.)
The DC museum owns Baby so she should be flying back east some time.
Soon, "The Swoose" a B17D(she bombed Japanese) will be ready for display at the Dayton museum.
The russian soldiers were very angry and less discplined than British and American.

Another first hand account of these SS women is by Corrie ten Boom in her autobiography “The Hiding Place”… the things she witnessed in the camp in general that these women did, and specifically to her sister, Betsy, who died as a result, just… I just can’t fathom how anyone could do such things… and here today, in 2022: China does such things to its own people and thinks it’s not only “no big deal” but do things that make the NAZIs and even Stalin look like teddy bears… everyone should know what happened, so they can not let it happen again.
Okay, are you brainwashed by the western media about Uighur genocide? You are suffering the same brainwash that have been applied by Goebbels toward German population.

The misogynists in this thread, keep crying lol. It's about women being able to choose whatever they want to do in life instead of being restricted. There are men who aren't fit for the military too, and they also have to deal with it and find something else. Similarly, women who are in no way fit for military service will have to give up.

First off you were the one who brought up the military. Most people don't think about the military when saying that. And I have female relatives in the military (also male ones) and I was asked by male officers if I want to join because I'm a good fighter and shooter. The military is complex, physical strength and endurance are not the ONLY things that matter. A female soldier who is good with weapons is valuable, so is one with good strategic thinking who can become a senior officer in time. Narrowing everything down to physical strength only is just being simple.
That being said, all the female soldiers I know are tall and in top physical shape, with good pain tolerance, which can't be said about the average person, man or woman.
Very well made and informative! Thank you again Dr. Felton.

It is because it's what males want to believe and what women enjoy to be seen at as it gives them power over them
I work with a lot of women to.
A majority of them are two faced and even though several are married or in long term relationships they will drop their panties to the Easter bunny.

Hey Mark, imagine that you have talent for acting, and a movie producer offers you interpreting a WW2 character, the one you want, no conditions. What would be your choice? Greetings from Chile, love your videos!!
This is a good question
I'm a very earthy, nurturing woman. It boggles my mind to even try to understand how these "women" could become such monsters.
And people STILL deny these atrocities happened 😔😢
Reading the comments there are few of those appalling creatures here with the vile agenda of denial.
Nonsense.
There is absolutely nothing, NOTHING that one human being has not done to another. God help us!
This was really a quite sanitized report of concentration camp cruelty.
@Kusty71 no God just us
A cheerful group. I wonder what percentage of people like this are among us but never have the opportunity to engage in that level of cruelty, but rather inflict less recognizable but nevertheless significant harm on others on a daily basis?
Because of sexism women in those days were only really seen as being used and not seen to doing it because they enjoyed it. People were a lot more sexist back then. If this happened in the 21st century we would never be so lenient on these women.
People were more racist back then too.
I've always wondered if the destruction of Germany's supply chain in the last 6 months of the war contributed to the emancipation of concentration camp prisoners?
Another interesting part of female sadism during WW2 is the horrors of Croatian killings of Serbians. In some monasteries and churches nuns used to kill kids and babies while priests killed men and women.
SECOND BEST CHANNEL ON UA-cam.
When I was held imprisoned on a false conviction in a US prison, there were female guards.
They actually were quite nice and just there to earn a paycheck. One of them saved my bwtt.
The warden though was female, and she was more of a Darth Vader type and dressed like it.
The real criminals were not the guards, but the fraudulent justice system and the jury that put me there. Those fine upstanding citizens. I won' my appeal and walked out the front door 3 years later, and received no apology for the great expense to my family and my life. The real cost was not the 3 years, but the 25 years afterwards of being bitter and unforgiving about it. The US government destroyed my life. I haaattteee them so much. They are true evil.
The people in these camps I feel so sorry for.
Ilan Omar would have fit in perfectly
He forgot to say many found work in America as elementary school teachers.
Not surprised if some became nuns.
They may have escaped Earthly justice, but they will have to face their Maker at the end of their lives.

What blows my mind is that this was almost like yesterday. Also the scale of destruction and murder is still too much to even comprehend unless you lived it. I remember seeing a documentary with bodies piled about high going for as long as the camera could see. Truly disturbing.

I always find Mark Felton documentaries are the best.
My first job out of high school was washing dishes in a restaurant owned by a Czech concentration camp survivor. The commandant of the camp was a woman. He told me some of the things he saw her do and it would chill your blood. He escaped the camp as a dead man, then worked with the Underground helping other escapees and hiding civilians. The female commandant was hanged by the British when they liberated the camp.
German here: No concentration camp had a female commandant. There where women in high-ranking positions, sure. Some like Ilse Koch or Irma Greese perpetuated and orchestrated atrocities, sure. But in the end they where below the "Lagerkommandant" ( commander of the camp) in the hierarchy.
I dont doubt that your Czech buddie endured horrible things, but he seems to have misremembered or confused that detail.
@@RabenmundK To be fair to the Czech Guy, he probably doesnt know how the Hieararchy work. He probably see that this Woman is in a posisition of power and assume she is the head of the camp.
Which camp was it and what was the female guards name? They said that the female guards were hanged
A female concetration camp was located in Protectorate Bohmen und Mahren, in Zwodau ( Svatava) close to Falkenau ( Sokolov) around 10.000 women during a war. They was forced to work in worst condition. Often they was used for medical examination on womens and childrens.
@@RabenmundK I know he was caping
As a student of history for 25 years and especially in WWII, I've always shied away from saying anything political in regards to these type of videos etc.. But in recent years I have noticed that whenever I strike up a conversation or vice versa about these type of events, it seems I now get instantly ridiculed for knowing actual history by the same folks who refuse to study history or that refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't go along with what they perceive as factual. I do believe we are in for dark days ahead and as the old cliche goes, which I hate saying, "history repeats itself."
I think you're right man. We're headed for dark days indeed. When it comes to people, anything goes it seems.
People who cannot think for themselves are a danger to themselves and others, and for the rest who have to deal with the upshot of their ignorance, total frustration.
@Nekkepen Ecke Us Germans sure had a lot of rain though.
@Nekkepen Ecke Ich hoffe auf bessere Tage für Deutschland.
Should check out Tuberville's inane comment about why WW2 was fought..
Evil and horrible acts are not limited to gender. This should be shown in all high schools. No one should forget. Thank you for posting.
Along with further balanced fare and open debates I would go for after that horror of War yet we've reached a far similar state of societal order now than you clearly ignore..
No, it should not be shown in high schools. For what purpose would you show it ? Haven't you ever heard of history books ?
Because of the power of video, and the spoken word. It needs to horrify and awaken young adults of the capacity of uncontrolled hate and tyranny, and recognize it. To help prevent it from ever happening again.
@Captain Obvious No doubt you restrict your 'learning' to UA-cam and possibly the more violent products of Hollywood. That's hardly a basis for understanding our world and its past. History, real history, should be taught whether or not its "interesting". Rather curious that you consider the Nazi crimes of WW2 as merely "mistakes". I suspect that your "interest" in the subject here is rather superficial. Perhaps a name change to "Captain Oblivious"?
@@Baskerville22 I must concur and hardly see grammar as a top 10 when our very history is concerned.
I'm nearly fifty years old and honestly thought I knew a lot about the second world war..... HOW WRONG WAS I!!
Mark is an absolute star.
I didnt know they had female ss guards. Thought it was all run by men unless they needed a secretary
Did you know about the human breeding farms I just learned about that recently
You are an incredible writer, narrator, and producer. I am a huge supporter of all your work. The care, compassion, and detail you clearly put into the research and crafting of these videos is amazing. I can’t believe you’re a one man team. Just awesome.
I read a book about the concentration camps that actually discussed these women, the female prisoners described how the "blitz maidens" would actually jump on tables and crack their whips at any prisoner they could reach for intimidation purposes. They were maniacs and would inflict brutal beatings if angered. Absolutely horrific.

Each passing generation becomes less aware of these horrible events. It's important to constantly remind people of the cruelty and hatred unleashed when the wrong people gain political power. Some say this could never happen again, but it has in various forms. Perhaps not exactly the same conditions,but torture and murder hidden from view still takes place.
based and true
Agreed. Thats why black lives matter is crucial: just as a consistent reminder of the inhumane atrocities comited by those evils for 400 years.
It is happening again in china

My great uncle William arkle was one of the British soldiers who librated belson he often said you could smell the camp three miles away it was heart breaking and was totally disgusted at what they found on arriving
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE These women were German women employed in the camp, they got a salary for their "work". I am Polish and I know a lot from eyewitnesses. It is a pity that so many books and stories of former prisoners are not translated into English.
My paternal grandfather was also one of the first in there. He never forgot til the day he died. He never forgave the Germans for what he saw there. He wouldn't even visit my parents in Germany when my father was stationed there in the early eighties.
What confounds me is with that OVERWHELMING stink of putrification, and incineration, how in the HELL did locals not have any idea what was going on? They HAD to know!
They villagers could smell it but were in denial the British troops dragged them all in to the camp to show what had been going on half of them puked up and some fled back to there village

How easily the human becomes evil when there is no thought of repercussions.
SOME HUMANS BECOME EVIL when there is no thought of repercussions. MANY HUMANS WOULD NEVER DO SUCH THINGS, but there are some who are just "itching" for the chance to "come out" and show their true evil and crazy side, or even their true evil and crazy personality, which they can sometimes keep hidden, sometimes for decades, sometimes even from family and friends.

Corrie Ten Boom, a fairly well known Christian, lived at Ravensbruck for a time. She survived it because of an 'administrative glitch' causing her to be released. She tells of a time in postwar Germany that she met up with one of her former guards in a church service she was speaking at. Corrie's sister was incarcerated there as well, but she perished at the camp prior to Corries release.
I met her in the late 1950's and visited with her before a church event later that evening.
I found her books so powerful as a kid. I think that they really brought the brutality of the camps home to me.
Powerful story told by an amazing woman. I remember seeing The Hiding Place when I was a teen and it impacted me forever. Her unwavering faith in God is humbling.
The Hiding Place (by Corrie Ten Boom) is an unforgettable book. I think of it a lot in these trying times.

My late grandfather was one of the allied servicemen who helped with the liberation and relief effort at Bergen Belsen. What pictures can never describe is the SMELL of the place. My grandfather used to say you can smell the place before you could even see it. And upon entering, things only got worse. My grandfather was about 25 when he helped with the liberation and relief effort.

Dear Mr Felton, yet another brilliant piece of work by you and your team. Sadly, for all the wrong reasons. Horrifying.
OMG this is absolutely staggering... so many guards were released without standing trial and lived quiet lives after commiting war crimes.
Yes, extremely disturbing.
What do you expect to happen?
Monsters living among us.
That's probably because some of the guards had no choice but to do as they were told. Or be shot.
