I got flamed a couple months ago for mentioning Soviet War Crimes in WW2.

I can’t believe some people refuse to admit all war crimes are bad end of discussion. I don’t care who committed it, a war crime is a war crime which is inherently bad.

Even war crimes against Nazi war criminals ultimately rob the hangman of his rightful due. Think of the hangman!

Oh man, wait until you learn about the guy who hung the Nazis.

My favorite detail is how, either through incompetence or malice, John didn't make the hole in the gallows big enough. As a result each Nazi that made the plunge smashed his face on the way down.

Warms my heart.
