Whenever I go back to subjects like the Malmedy, Wereth 11 and Biscari massacres, it makes you wonder just how many massacres are still unknown to the public. How many committed by both the Axis and Allies were taken to the grave by those who committed it?

Can you do a video on the Kaminski brigade? It was an SS nazi division comprised primarily of Soviet POWs. The atrocities of the brigade was so extreme, that even other nazis were horrified and disgusted by them. The leader of the brigade was even court martialed by other nazis and executed for his groups atrocities. The Kaminski brigade should not be confused with the Dirlewanger brigade, although they often collaborated and commited atrocities together in the Eastern front.

Video about SS Division Totenkopf would be sort of interesting because most of the original members came from concentration camp guards. One of their war crimes was the Le Paradis massacre in 1940. The head of the division until 1943 was Theodor Eicke who was the inspector of the concentration camps.

War crimes met with war crimes. So no good actions by anyone here, the germans were bad, the Americans actions in response to the Germans actions were bad.

I can think of no examples of true justice. Only men initiating violence on men who initiate violence on other men because initiation of violence on non violent people is wrong. To imagine that because some men did so under the banner of a flag that form of justice is in some way “true” or redemptive, not only mandates one turn a blind eye to the process by which a nation is formed, but also says nothing of the funding governments use in this quest for true justice. Of course this funding being the spoils a coercive practice known by its euphemism “taxation”. To take a man’s hard earned income in the name of protection, he didn’t ask for and can not refuse, justified by the claim that without said protection men would steal, assault or kill. Does the flaw in this reasoning really need to be pointed out? I suppose it does, until we view patriotism and nationalism as the archaic remnants of human history that they are, as bugs not features of homosapiens rapid rise to the top of the food chain those who see beyond must continue to question that which seems so obvious to the masses. It is that which never gets questioned that goes on unchanged.

What?

I’m sorry, but some S.S. fascists getting roughed up while being imprisoned, and only a few of them got to receive real justice like Pieper, is that the second wrong you’re talking about?

And now make a video about the fact that there broke out a firefight between American GI''s and the German soldiers. In the crossfire the American POW's tried to escape while the battle raged. Some of the pow's got hit in the crossfire, and some got shot due to their to attempt to escape. This is the true story about Malmedy. And for the last part about civillians getting killed. Yes unfortunally it happens. But also the Allies were killing thousands, or even tens of thousands civillians every day with the indiscriminate bombing of entire german cities. When did i see the 8th airforce commander "Doolittle" or "Arthur Harris" go to trail for this warcrime? Whatabout all the bombercrew actually throwing the bombs? This is called "Hypocritical".
