I have always been disturbed by the way the post war tribunals were concluded, allowing a great many SS men who were guilty of war crimes to get off with light prison sentences or even worse...no punishment at all. Worse yet....to be employed by the governments of the USA and Britain in counter espionage with the Soviet Union. The same policies that also protected Japanese war criminals. I have heard the excuse used that "the world was just ready to be done with war and killing" and others. I'm glad I heard about these things when I was an adult,and not while I was still a young boy, because it made me ashamed of the Americans who made these decisions in the post war USA and tarnished the image I had held of an America that always did the right thing when it came to justice.
I am a big fan of the late Simon Wiesenthal and the persons who have carried on his work hunting down Nazi War Criminals despite the fact that any who remain are now in their eighties and nineties.
