i think this post may become more clear if i know what exactly you are responding to here.

Im responding to Mille's desire to execute millions of Germans generally.

MilleVanille asked,
Russia controlled eastern Germany for a generation. Plenty of time to execute 10 million Germans. But it didn't happen. Better ask that rodent Putin why not. Didn't his masters believe in collective punishment?

Many cruel things happened during the 2nd world war.
It´s past - thank God!

Little film for MilleVanille:

YouTube - ?Preußens Gloria" auf dem Roten Platz in Moskau

Nice to see the Russians haven't lost their taste for mass murder.

Back to the point of the thread, I believe Millie's call for 'justice' shows a complete lack of understanding of the history of WW2 and Europe. By his logic, we would also need to arrest and execute much of the Red Army that fought in WW2.

but the red army was hardly an aggressor....

So that somehow makes the massive amounts of rape, theft, and murder committed by the Red Army (officially condoned in many cases) as they entered German territory ok? Rape is rape no matter who commits it. The same goes for theft and murder.

The same sword Millie wants to use to bring 'justice' to the German people can also be used to bring 'justice' to the Russians.

EDIT: A further point; I believe the Poles, Finns, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians would disagree about the Red Army not being an aggressor.

Agreed. I was simply pointing out the flaw in that 'logic'.

The concept of collective guilt is a dangerous one.
