nazi hunters

so I was watching this show on the military channel called "nazi hunters"

basically a group of british soldiers all jewish, Called the "jewish avengers" hunted and killed suspected war criminals after the war for several years.

they basically took it upon themselves to avenge the deaths of all 6 million jews killed by killing 6 million germans by any means necessary. Including but not limited to poisoning of drinking water of several german cities.

This is just beyond fucked up and imo. is no better than the atrocities committed against their own race.

they would have gone through with the poisoning had a member of their group not been arrested bringing the poison back to germany. There was also a plot to poison the food at prison camps containing german soldiers which failed.

either way they still hunted and killed many german soldiers in cold blood, and are quite proud of this.

now I don't want it to be thought that I am some sort of nazi sympathizer. I AM NOT!

and i'll agree that certain members of the nazi party undoubtedly deserved a slow death by biting ants to their genital area, but to punish innocent civilians or even simple guards at the camps??? by death? This is going a bit far imo.

I mean if these people had not fallen into line and done as ordered would they not have also been subjected to the same tortuous practices? Should these low level soldiers or even civilians really be subjected to the same punishment as the people who called the shots? I don't think so.

In fact I would go so far as to say that retribution like this detracts from the true horror committed against the jewish people.

It seems both sides were completely capable of despicable acts.

I really wonder who the world would view as the"bad guys" had things went the other way in the war.

Discuss.

History is written by the victor, or so they say. I haven't seen ''Nazi Hunters'' so i'll search it down today.

A big problem is a lack of education, or lack of detail in education. I don't know what the schools are like worldwide but in the UK our WW1/WW2/Nazi based history lessons were nothing but the battles, the number of dead and how bad the Nazis were. There was never any mention of allied activity that'd be frowned upon, never any horror stories from POW camps and never anything about Stalin, Mussolini or the likes. Just Hitler was bad and the allies won.

I don't know about this one joe.

Possible wives tale? Think about the amount of effort it took to murder 6 million Jews. Killing that many Germans, or anyone of a single demographic, takes a lot of effort and would have received a ton of public attention.

I will have to research this more, you got me curious.

You know what is more important. Why did Hitler go after people of Jewish heritage? That is something they don't teach you in school.

1. Jews are not considered a 'race' of people. Just like Christians, Muslims, mormons aren't a 'race'. this is an important distinction because it's one of the reasons they were all rounded up. It's easy to cast negative propaganda against a group of people when you can lUmp them all together Under one little label.
2. millions of German citizens just turned their backs as their Jewish neighbors got rounded up an disappeared.
3. the actions of the "Jewish assassins" (a small group of people motivated by and forever traumatized by atrocities carried out against them), while deplorable, are also understandable. if you, your entire family, and everyone you ever knew you were kidnapped, tortured, starved, and then murdered en- mass you would want a little get back too.

I for one don't get the whole eye for an eye thing, which is also why I have a problem with the death penalty..
For some odd reason saying killing is wrong, and to show you just how wrong it is to kill, we're going to kill the killer..
Just doesn't sit right with me..

We to kill the killer gets rid of the killer an why should the state use tax dollars to keep them alive its unfair for tax payers. If one kills someone unjustly that is if one is protecting themselves and or there family that to me is a different story.

the plan to poison the german people was perpetrated by but a few jewish ex soldiers. They were gonna poison drinking water in six german cities.

elaborate on this please.
weren't the 'ingloriuous basterds' based on nazi hunters?
couldn't be. The movie was based on a military unit whose actions took place during the war. I for one do not have any problems with these methods. After all the war was still being fought.

The actions of the "jewish avengers" took place after the war, and continued for decades.
1. Jews are not considered a 'race' of people.
I understand this. It was 5 am and in my tired state I couldn't find the proper adjective to describe the people.



2. millions of German citizens just turned their backs as their Jewish neighbors got rounded up an disappeared.
.
True, but if these citizens had not done this would they not have been subjected to the same fate as the jewish?

also, not all german citizens agreed with this practice. The story of anne frank comes to mind. I'm sure there were other families whom detested the nazis as well.

3. the actions of the "Jewish assassins" (a small group of people motivated by and forever traumatized by atrocities carried out against them), while deplorable, are also understandable. if you, your entire family, and everyone you ever knew you were kidnapped, tortured, starved, and then murdered en- mass you would want a little get back too.
the actions of these people were known by the jewish leadership in palestine. David Ben Gurion. Who later became the first israeli prime minister.

I do not have a problem with the death penalty. I have a problem with the system that implements it. My family was the victim of an unsolved murder years ago. I would probably shoot that fucker myself if I knew who it was. Specific retribution is different than the subject at hand though. We are talking about the attempted poisoning of entire cities.....including children

Reprehensible imo.
is it bad that I thought this thread was going to be about some members here? :lol:
I loled at this :)


they were the same I believe. at least they were mentioned in the doc.
