How does that logic work please? I'm quite happy that most Nazi camp guards got strung up. I don't have an urge to go shit on their graves though. Also there is-ever-so-slightly massive difference between some guy getting shot on the frontline after being impressed into service and some sadist torturing and murdering people for kicks. The nearest comparison in civil war times might be a camp like Andersonville, but I was conspicuously not talking about Andersonville.
oh, so the guys who fought at the front invading half of Europe were fine? got it.
but death does not absolve the world of the crimes committed, and pissing on someones grave is showing that you don't respect these people, who should not be respected.
No, it is recognition that they're dead and you defiling graves of people you know nothing about, or their personal culpability is just stupid and gross.
so what? a dead Nazi is not bad? a dead slaver is not absolved of his sins? and how far does that "you personally don't know" go? hell, I don't know most neo-Nazis, I can still punch them.
