Panzeh posted:To take a slightly different tack, do any of you think any of the acquittals or light sentences were justified? Not Speer, probably not Doenitz but the prosecution's case against him was incredibly dumb because it allowed allied navy commanders to provide his best defense, Papen should have had prison but everyone at this point knew that he was probably going to be a harmless moron rather than a powerful moron. I don't buy the acquittal of Riefenstahl and I think too much has been done in film nerd circles to whitewash her (similarly I think Celine should have been shot but only wasn't because of his nobel in litterature, his postwar output is the lovely whining of an unrepentent nazi angry that he got a slap on the wrist anyway). I don't absolutely think she deserved to hang but I don't think she deserved to walk either. Admittedly my standards (anyone who volunteered for the Waffen SS, among other things) are iirc more extreme than the soviet union's.
