      @@leannageyer943 As with all symbols, and crosses in particular, the meaning is whatever it means to you. For example, the triangle formed by the roof and the crossbar could be seen as reference to the Holy Trinity. Alternatively it could be viewed as a symbolic enclosure, representing the tomb of the Resurrection, or perhaps the outline of a church.
      A common interpretation is more pragmatic; a roof, actual or symbolic, to protect the cross from snow and rain. It's easy to understand why Christians want to protect an image of the Cross, just as comfort is gained from remembering that the Cross itself offers protection for us all.

    I have a framed Nazi flag from landsberg. It was taken from a burning Nazi government building in 45. Has some burn marks on it. The soldier who took it, said “When we entered the building, it was like hell. Flames and dead people were all over the place. I saw the flag on a lecture and thought my dad would like it. I took it outside and stomped on it to stop the smoldering.”

    You should have mentioned that Peipers conviction was secured via torture. That is the reason the court overturned his conviction. Also, an American POW who was an officer, and beside Peiper at some point, during the Battle of the Bulge, is on record hearing Peiper order his men to treat POWs properly and have them sent to the rear.
    I pulled this from memory, a book I read long ago, "The Devils Adjutant'. It is about Peiper and his actions during and after the war.

      This all went on a few years ago, and filmed sometimes in full HD, by ISIS. The lines of soldiers wearing ordinary clothes lined up & shot. The lust for more creative, outlandish means of killing inc. everything from an upright shackled man being crushed under a tank track, 5 guys in a locked car hit by a RPG to a group of men with Det cord looped around each neck and detonated, a mortar slung in the midst of another group and detonated to the halal killing of orange suited POWs slaughtered and hung on chains in a slaughterhouse as if sheep/goats. The last was done with props & full Hollywood production values.
      The members of Dearsh/ISIS were known to the group but although a lot died in the fighting, enough remain within Syrian & Iraqi prisons for hearings.
      I'm just struck by how the Nazis were hunted down but ISIS maybe not so much?

    The young man speaking here was either unaware, or deliberately omitted another reason for the stress of the Einsatzgruppen that directly led to execution by gas chambers. The prisoners of Eastern Europe and western Russia, where the Einsatzgruppen operated were also murdered with hand tools when bullet stocks ran low. Hammers, knives,pick axes, whatever came to hand. It was the use of these methods that led to the “stress” mentioned here. That really manifested as serious psychopathic mental illness in people who were probably psychopathic to begin with, but became much, much worse over a short period of time.

      Actually according to the "mental world" of these men - they were not at all criminals. And from a pure legal point of view - many of these deeds were not even crimes because the state did not prohibit such deeds. "Nulla poena sine lege!".
      My personal opinion is that it was ok to punish them... even though it was not legal to do so - at least in many cases.
      But actually the much bigger scandal is that most of the Nazis sentenced to prison in Landsberg - were pardoned already in the early 1950ies... Actually those who were executed just had some kind of "bad luck". Because others who committed the same kind of deeds - were pardoned soon after...

    During the Roman Greek and Persian empires entire groups were wiped out .history is more favorable to them though because in allot of cases they were the Victor's. I'm saying this and I'm Greek and no I'm not apologetic for what my ancestors did .nor are the Turkish nor are the Italians.
