I am always sorry to hear such stubborn statements. It seems you do not care about the individual - you want to punish them collectively, even those who did not murder in cold blood or "lead the world to the brink of destruction" (didn't know Churchillian propaganda was still acceptable in our time). No one here is mitigating the war-time actions committed, but fair is fair: not everyone in the SS had anything to do with war crimes, and you can't generalize simply because they had two letters in common. I'm not defending the SS who did commit these crimes, but I'll stand up for anyone wrongly accused, regardless of what side he fought on. Judging them all as one is a great misjustice, and you cannot give any rationale for doing so other than sheer hatred.
