Former SS guard, now 94, faces trial in Germany

21 September 2018

A 94-year-old former SS guard faces trial in November charged with complicity in the mass murders at the Nazi concentration camp Stutthof during World War II, a German court said Friday.

The man from the district of Borken, who was not named, was a watchman at the Nazi camp near what was then the free city of Danzig, now Gdansk in Poland.

He stands accused of complicity in the murders of several hundred camp prisoners between 1942 and 1945, said the regional court of Muenster more than seven decades after the end of World War II.

These included more than 100 Polish prisoners gassed to death on June 21 and 22, 1944, as well as "probably several hundred" Jewish prisoners murdered in the same way from August to December 1944 as part of the Nazis' so-called "Final Solution" operation.

Prosecutors believe that the man "knew about the killing methods" at the camp and that the guards were a crucial part of the camp system.

As the former SS guard was not yet 21 at the time of the crimes, he will be tried before a juvenile court from November 6.

Germany has been racing to put on trial surviving SS personnel, after the legal basis for prosecuting former Nazis changed in 2011 with the landmark conviction of former death camp guard John Demjanjuk.

He was sentenced not for atrocities he was known to have committed, but on the basis that he served at the Sobibor camp in occupied Poland - for having been a cog in the Nazis' killing machine.

German courts subsequently convicted Oskar Groening, an accountant at Auschwitz camp, and Reinhold Hanning - a former SS guard at the same camp, when they were aged 94 for the mass murders seven decades back.

But neither served jailtime as they both died before they could be imprisoned.

Prosecutors had filed charges against another former SS guard at Stutthof, a 93-year-old from the city of Wuppertal.

But a decision on whether the case will go ahead is pending as it is yet to be determined if he is fit for trial, the court in Muenster said.

Will children of "camp guards" be haunted and stalked by "holohoaxers" as well?

prisoners gassed to death on June 21 and 22, 1944

Fred Leuchter, a designer of gas chambers for execution, proved that the gas chamber at Auschwitz was fake. (So the Jews put him out of business. He wound up driving a bus.)

Since there was no homicidal chamber there, how can we believe that there was a gas chamber at this other camp?

[T]he broad masses of a nation ... more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since ... they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.... From time immemorial, ... the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. --- Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf; volume 1, chapter 10; Murphy translation)

Former Guard Says he Never Saw “Gas Chambers” or Atrocities


The trial in Germany of a former SS guard at the Stutthof camp has taken a dramatic turn with the declaration by the accused that he never saw any “gas chamber” or any mass murders of any sort at the camp.


According to holocaust scholar Peter Winter, author of the best-selling The Six Million: Fact or Fiction, the 94-year-old former SS man who served as a guard at the Stutthof camp has told the court that during his two years’ service he never saw a “gas chamber” or atrocities at the camp—a truthful statement because there was no “gas chamber” at that camp, only a clothing disinfection chamber.

“Johann Rehbogen—who can only be identified as ‘Johann R” in German media—adopted the usual tactic of those being prosecuted in Germany for being camp personnel—that of not contesting that atrocities took place (a defense which is illegal in Germany) but rather just saying that they never saw or took part in any such activities,” Winter wrote, before continuing:

A report of Rehbogen’s 18-page statement to the court, as carried in the Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, confirmed this in its (blatantly biased) opening paragraph, where the journalist wrote that the defendant was “not remembering anything which could be dangerous.”

Rehbogen is accused of “aiding and abetting” murder in “hundreds of cases,” including the “gassing” of 100 Polish prisoners in June 1944. Although he “does not deny being in the camp,” he says he “neither heard anything nor was involved” in any of the “crimes, the atrocities, and the murders,” the Allgemeine Zeitung said.

His statement said that he was conscripted into the SS in 1942, and while at the camp, saw the “poor conditions of the prisoners” and also “saw corpses” but knew nothing of the “crimes, the murders, the gas chamber, the shooting-in- the-neck system [of execution].”

In 1944 he was transferred out to the Western front where he served for the rest of the war, his statement ended.

Rehbogen’s denial of ever having seen a “gas chamber” at Stutthof is correct: there was no “gas chamber” at that camp, merely a small clothing disinfection chamber located close to the small camp crematorium.

This is also why the media coverage of the trial will make reference to “gas chambers” but will general shy away from showing pictures of the “gas chamber”—because it is so patently not one, despite visitors to the camp being told that it was one.


The fact that Rehbogen has denied ever seeing a “gas chamber” or any mass executions is however bad news for the Holocaust Storytellers, as they were hoping that this trial—perhaps one of the last ever—would produce a “confession.” Obviously, it has not.

The OP had this quote:

"Conscripted" means he was "drafted."

Gee, I guess he just should have resisted. Reality check here. Lots of young med burned their draft cards during the Nam era and many were imprisoned. And yet, the paradox of "a free country" was still being taught. Well, I did come from an extended military family and did two years in Army ROTC during the Nam years, got to go to a "crash" two week summer camp where I learned to make loud noises with various ordinance, and was medically discharged at the physical because of my knees which had been injected with a cortisone analog because of my sports injuries. Out I went and had a medical deferment in the Nam years. I ran into an old patriotard who said I'd be good as cannon fodder, damn old patriotard.

Hmmm....are jews conscripted into the Israeli Defense Force?

Yeppers:

Conscription exists in Israel for all Israeli citizens over the age of 18 who are Jewish, Druze, or Circassian; Arab citizens of Israel are not conscripted. Other exceptions are made on religious, physical, or psychological grounds. The normal length of compulsory service is currently two years and eight months for men (with some roles requiring an additional four months of service), and two years for women.

OK. Another example of "doublethink" by (((the chosenites.)))
