re: #678 bwohlgemuth

It’s a serious question, what were the expected duties of a “camp guard” at a concentration camp. The Nazis were quite organized, there (seriously) should be a list of what expected duties were at the camp. If he went outside of that list….he’s open game. He was (admitted) a uniformed part of the army, therefore covered by Geneva Convention (if I am wrong, please explain why).

I am not an expert in international law, hence why I ask these questions and hope for legitimate answers. Yes, I have read many answer to questions similar to mine, and most of them are pretty crappy/vengeful/attack the questioner.

I think you guys are mistaking my “umm…what are you doing?” as “you shouldn’t be doing that!”.

SS death squad leaders claimed to be lowly “camp guards” when they were captured by Allied forces. Even assuming that they really were lowly “camp guards” these individuals were assigned to make sure that none of the innocent victims was late to the showers or put up a fuss to being exterminated. That is accessory to mass murder at the very least. A lowly “camp guard” would shoot anyone who stepped out of line, was late for roll call, or didn’t strip on command.

No one who was part of the nazi killing machine, not even the lowly “camp guards” and harmless “bookkeepers” have any rights under the Geneva conventions. Why should they have? The Geneva conventions were adopted to protect the VICTIMS of these crimes, not the perpetrators.
