Nazi is a Political party, not a military force!

What you say is correct about atrocities but soldiers in the Waffen-SS were still soldiers. They will be listed on pages as soldiers just like Japanese soldiers from Unit 731.

The actor playing the role was not listed as SS criminal but SS soldier. Any change to pages other wise will be dealt with as we are just to put information to fill in facts on the film and not any political leaning or view.

Unit 731 was still at least part of the Imperial Japanese Army proper. (Just look at my name, I'm the last person who'd want to stand up for the Japs. And it pisses me off they they avoided prosecution.) The Waffen SS was its own separate entity, and that was a deliberate separation on behalf of the Nazi leadership.

I did not want to list him as an "SS criminal," but simply as an "SS trooper," seeing how the title of "soldier" had been denied them by the IMT. I saw no reason why we should restore a title that had been denied them by a body far more qualifed that we were. The fact that the person in the screencap had just put a bullet through the head of a woman for the crime of having a nosebleed and being Jewish seems to indicate that the man, indeed, is a criminal. And "Trooper" was the most basic SS rank, so it seems appropriate.

If anyone is offended, I apologize. "Nips" it is then... (J/K)

(Seriously, if anyone is not okay with it, I apologize.)

Don't apologize! stand strong against the leftist tide of political correctness!

Well, the fact that my name is "Funkychinaman" means I can't be THAT politically correct.

I do want to keep it civil though.

"Nigger" is more convenient than "African American".
