ask the men who fought the nazis, did THEY torture prisoners of war?

1. No.

But then again, those prisoners were white guys.

[Ian David]

5. I did know a guy who admitted to killing Nazis after they surrendered

They didn't line them up and execute them.

What they did was sort of refuse to accept their surrender if any of their own guys had been killed.

At least, that's all he was willing to admit.

2. But The Nazis Did

I'd say the Bush Admin. is on the wrong side.

3. Great point! n/t

[BlueEyedSon]

8. I heard that even the Nazis DIDN'T (torture POWs)

So now we're WORSE that Nazis. Oh joy!

[mopaul]

9. i've seen hogan's heroes

good point. i usually think of dr. mengele and the death camps

[BlueEyedSon]

14. Right, not POW camps. Plenty of torture, etc. elsewhere....

[LynnTheDem]

4. Those Americans gave the Nazis full legal rights; charges, counsel, trial.

That's what REAL Americans do, even for Nazis.

Fake "Americans" don't. The population of America has 70% fake "Americans".

6. Back then it was probably called agressive interrogation

See thats the great thing in winning a war you usually never get prosecuted for war crimes.:sarcasm:

[mopaul]

7. i ain't saying it didn't happen

but you sure never saw it plastered all over the front pages

[kodi]

10. yes, they did.

.

[Cleita]

11. The fact that the German soldiers ran west when the allies

were closing in tells the story. They wanted to be taken POW by the Americans, not the Russians who had a big axe to grind with the Nazis.

[Yupster]

17. Hard to blame them

It's supposed to be the largest number of rapes in the history of the world when the Red Army hit Germany and Hungary.

[moondust]

12. Hard to say.

The winners never prosecute themselves for war crimes. The losers are always the criminals.

[pocket]

13. They did execute anyone caught fighting out of uniform

no uniform, no geneva protections

[lenidog]

15. We also have to look at the question of what constitutes torture

I would safely bet that some of the interrogation techniques of yesterday which were not considered torure at the time. Would be in todays world and moral climate.

16. My dad hate the CIA,He was in WWII,

He told me that the CIA would torture and kill there prisoner
they sent back behind the line.He said they were just kids.

[tx_dem41]

18. The CIA was started in 1947....two years after WWII ended.

Your father was probably talking about the OSS, the precursor to the CIA.

19. If OSS is what they called it,they are the ones that killed the kids.n/t
