Hard to Disagree with This.

Authorities in the US have deported a 95-year-old man who acknowledged working as a guard in a Nazi concentration camp.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or Ice, said in a statement that Friedrich Karl Berger, a German citizen, was sent back to Germany this month for serving as a guard of a Neuengamme concentration camp subcamp near Hamburg in 1945.

The case was investigated by the US Department of Justice. Berger was ordered expelled by a Memphis, Tennessee, court in February 2020 but will not face trial in Germany because prosecutors dropped the case against him for lack of evidence.

According to an Ice statement, Berger served at the subcamp near Meppen, Germany, where prisoners – Russian, Polish, Dutch, Jewish and others – were held in “atrocious” conditions and worked “to the point of exhaustion and death”.

Berger has admitted serving as a guard for a few weeks near the end of the war but has said he did not observe any abuse or killings, news agencies have reported.

Berger admitted he guarded prisoners. He also accompanied prisoners on the forced evacuation of the camp that resulted in the deaths of 70 prisoners.

He had been living in the US since 1959.

I thought Pedo Joe was putting a halt to all deportations? I'm surprised that this nazi cunt wasn't hired by the current US regime to lend them experiential knowledge on how to run a fascist dictatorship.

The things you thought are not true. This must be a real time of personal growth for you.

The pro-nazis here should remember men chose to work in the camps because it kept them away from the front line.

And we've got people today being primed by media and Big Tech hate to become the new concentration camp guards. All you have to do is treat fellow Americans as a threatening "Other" and it works the same in any culture. This essay does a great job describing the concept.
