If it makes you all feel any better, the nazi with the gun didn’t survive the war. Also, his hometown covered his name on a war memorial with a QR code so people would know what he’d done and he’d get proper credit for his monstrous acts.
That’s why they wear masks now, so they can just walk around like normal people when they aren’t murdering us in the street.
For now.
He died in battle and was never prosecuted for his crimes.
I like to imagine that their thoughts were “damn, maybe this was a bad idea” at the end.
Except they clearly were incapable of logical reasoning so it’s unlikely.
Yeah, most of them never relented. They simply did their best to assimilate back into normal life. Most absolved their consciences by convincing themselves what they’d done was an acceptable part of fighting a war.
Still, whether it was through Nazi hunters, prosecutions, or family testimonies… their names live on in infamy.
Man you reminded me about Nazi hunting. I forgot that happened. But I don’t remember them getting a lot of them.
There will be people who do not forget and are not content to let them live in peace.
Yeah, I’m surprised that the pursuit continued after the Nuremberg trials. Like Australia found 6.
The French though? They didn’t fuck around. Goddamn lol.
The French don’t get enough credit for how badass they are. (At least here in America, where people don’t read enough history and learn out of propagandized textbooks for the most part.)
They mostly were just professional secret police that freelanced. Some hunted people during White Terror/Red Scare periods, even.

borariI’ve seen the full image before, but I forgot how horrific it is when I saw the cropped version in the op.
Oh yeah. That motherfucker had a whole crowd around him. Awful.
was a German schoolteacher and a member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) who served in a mobile killing unit
“I wonder what I should do with my life… I already tried to mentor and help people find their way through life. Guess I could try genocide next.”
What the fuck.
I’m sure it made him feel like a big, big boy. Especially considering he was also a romantic failure.
