Lock him up...............

Former death camp guard on trial in Germany

A 93-year-old man on trial in Germany for crimes of complicity in mass murder at a Nazi death camp during World War Two has voiced regret for his actions.

Bruno Dey is accused of contributing to the killings of 5,230 prisoners between 1944 and 1945 in the Stutthof camp in what is now northern Poland.

Mr Dey admitted serving there and having knowledge of atrocities being carried out at the camp.

But the former SS guard said he was not complicit in any murders.

Its good to see these monsters brought to book.

While I totally support locking up or executing Nazi personnel that actively killed the Jewish, Handicapped and Roma in Concentration Camps, I try to keep in mind that military guards on duty in guard towers and walking the fences that didn't actively kill anyone, were soldiers in a nation that even the populace in civilian life were taught from a young age to adhere to their leaders rules and were just individuals in a large scale government action that, if they didn't obey, would have been quickly shot on the spot, or shot later via a firing squad and still wouldn't have solved the problem. Only an actual army invasion ended it. So, I'm not in support of imprisoning some random guard that was just on guard duty in one of those hideous camps and may have even been disgusted by it, but knew what might befall him/her and his/her family if he/she rebelled. After all, to stay alive, some of those incarcerated helped move and dispose of the bodies of their own people. The instinct to survive is powerful to all, excluding the suicidal. Also, since any Nazi guards that might be alive today and killed no one, are all in their 90's, it serves no real purpose, they're on their last days anyway.
