Why does SanityCheck evade the Physical Evidence Question?

If he thought they were representative of Germans than this *would* be his country. I guess it's a past tense thing. He would be slandering a government that Germans chose and supported and was representative of them. What's a plausible incentive to do this? You haven't provided specifics. They say they're going to jail him?

"Anyone remotely showing affinity for the defeated Nazi government will be unemployable, endangered, and possibly thrown into jail forever."

bombsaway says: "But he'd never slander the Nazi government."

There was no option other than to slander the Nazi government, bombsaway. It didn't matter what their prior affinities (during the war and prior) were, following the defeat. Nobody was going to be a "hero". You're now in the Allies' hands, where they are conducting an endless lynching party, and where your own German government was decided by them and their 'denazification' policies.

Keep pretending to misunderstand, bombsaway. Your theatrics are top-notch.

So is my narrative accurate so far? viewtopic.php?p=24607#p24607

I feel like it has to be expanded a lot to be proper history. We have to lot of information about attitudes of West Germans at that time. You can help me flesh this out maybe.

You're not answering anything I asked in this post, right ?

I just want that to be clear and on the record viewtopic.php?p=24607#p24607

Yes, I am not answering your questions which are framed to misrepresent my self-explanatory position and narrative.

While I do enjoy your theatrics, I do not intend to participate in them.

sorry, see above

so to be clear you don't want to help me write a well considered narrative about the witnesses and political realities of post-war Germany, and how that facilitated how the 60s trials were conducted

is there a revisionist book that does this?

[bombsaway]

I should add that that it is in no way "self-explanatory" that every witness would play ball with the prosecutors, or at least not reveal the fact they were being compelled to lie.

The Salem witch trials and witch trials in general show that people value truth, innocence, even in the face of dying in a horrible way (often being burned alive). At Salem, 50 confessed to avoid death sentence, 20 maintained their innocence and were hung.

The death penalty was abolished in Western Germany so no one's life was at stake. It seems to me the worst thing people were facing was jail time, which in the case of Mayer wouldn't have applied either. He was just brought in, and from the revisionist perspective, made up a ridiculous lie.
