Pressure on Hungary to prosecute Nazi war criminal Laszlo Csatary

[PanzerJaeger]

INB4 PJs usual lines of:

There was rampant antisemitism all throughout the continent
The Allies did bad things too
German actions must be looked at in context

Well, Csatary was not German, nor is there any real evidence that he was/is antisemitic. The Hungarians were under incredible pressure to accede to German demands, lest they be occupied themselves - which they eventually were. We know now how that pressure translated down through the royal police both from government and German officials, but you won't read it in the testimony of any of the post-war kangaroo courts. Context is everything, and you know if a man ends up on any Simon Wiesenthal list, it has already been thrown out the window in favor of publicity.

I cannot wait until all these guys are finally dead, taking the The Simon Wiesenthal Centre's raison d'être with them - hunting down old men on other people's dime.

The same goes for the police officers who arrested the jews here, but I don't see much reason to exonerate them on that basis.

Do you excuse Afghan or Iraqi jihadis for their actions, frags?

Of course they fight back. Don't mind that 'we' are fighting them either, best scum is dead scum

So.... You think they are scum? Kinda like how I view those who worked for the nazis.

Not much choice there, but here at least they were a little bit more enthousiastic then they could and should have been. Nobody has clean hands here, a lot of jews were even ratted out by their fellow jews, the 'Jewish Council' actively helped the nazi's with deportations.

I misunderstood your post by the way.
