"or how Russians treated POW's after the end of the conflict"

Or how our own soldiers and federal agents have treated non-POW's? I can't help but add this. We may not be the monsters the Nazis were, but our nation has beaten, raped and killed in it's "prisons", and imprisoned people for years for NOTHING. So I'd say we don't need Nazis for examples of monstrocities anymore. We are our own example.

No matter what we do or say, that legacy will remain. As time goes on, and more and more stories come out, it'll get worse and worse. imho And the good soldiers and agents that willingly participated will come home and be walking amoungst us. Home-grown sadists. Sorry off-topic. It just boils my blood. Full rolling boil.

I hear you!
I have thought many times of returning trained killers having committed atrocities......
Even those just having witnessed many atrocities........
Then back within 'society' to live life as if nothing had happened?  Probably left to their own resources too, rather than psychologically treated and supported?
yuck.
darn.
The longer this is allowed to go on, the more society will have to absorb and re-absorb when it is finally allowed to be 'over'.  It is a mutual karma thing though, for if not committing atrocities, nor contributing to the continuance of a system that commits atrocities, nor contributing to its continuance by turning one's back on it all in refusal and denial, there is a need to be contributing to the ending of such ways that allow such things!
