I’ve nearly finished Safe Haven: the United Kingdom’s Investigations into Nazi Collaborators and the Failure of Justice by Jon Silverman. It’s both an astonishing and depressing read about the failure of the U.K. ( and by mention Australia, Canada and the States ) to prosecute, both after the war and then again in the 1990s , those troops involved in war crimes who fought within Nazi ranks who were allowed in to those countries with no adequate screening . When the Soviets demanded extradition they said no , when the Soviets sent intelligence from their interviews with survivors and locals the U.K. wouldn’t use it as evidence .It’s ok, being in the SS doesn’t necessarily make you a Nazi, you probably just liked the uniforms

Britain likes to think it ‘stood alone’ against the Nazis. So why did it convict so few for war crimes? | Jon Silverman
Out of 274 suspects investigated in England, Wales and Scotland, there was only a single conviction, says academic and author Jon Silverman

Van Braun was lauded by the USA for his rockets ... which absolutely disregarded what happened at Pennemunde {?sp} and the slave factories building V2s ...I’ve nearly finished Safe Haven: the United Kingdom’s Investigations into Nazi Collaborators and the Failure of Justice by Jon Silverman.

Some of the worst ones were returned to the USSR, but on the sly as British agents to stir the UPA insurgency in Western Ukraine.I’ve nearly finished Safe Haven: the United Kingdom’s Investigations into Nazi Collaborators and the Failure of Justice by Jon Silverman.

I think most of them were dealt with pretty quickly though, as I seem to recall that they were betrayed by Kim Philby, or one of his mates.

Anyone fighting against the USSR between the years 1939 - 1945 was a Nazi

strictly off the record
Well maybe 1941 to 1945? The period between September 1939 and June 1941 was, er, complicated.

Like the Poles, Finns, Latvians, Estonians, Lithuanians whose countries were invaded by the USSR? A tad too simplistic. Not to mention conscription in various armies, including Germany's. Even the Ukrainian nationalists spent some of their time fighting the Wehrmacht.

Yes makes alot of sense. Naom Chomsky made a interview few year's ago basically warning NATO was putting Ukraine at risk from major war.

I've not read this particular pamphlet yet, not wanting to shell out on what I suspect is a load of old bunkum. I say this because of all the other stuff of his I've read on Ukraine. First of all he starts off with the obligatory paragraph denouncing the unjustifiable invasion by Russia, then says how it was provoked anyway, then proceeds to attack Western governments for everything they have done elsewhere in the world.‘If people really knew the truth, the war would stop tomorrow’

Yes the old left is very much anti western imperialism.

It's a case of wanting to have the cake and eat it. I am always impressed at the naivety of these anti-war fundamentalists who seem to cherish the notion that if Ukraine just stops fighting, everything will suddenly be peachy, and Russia will stop where it is. Fat chance of that, in my view.
