I have looked over the Hess in Prison thread, and our new best friend Horst posted the following: “Under which law or jurisprudence is it possible to condemn a man to life imprisonment for the crime of seeking peace, risking his life and sacrificing his personal freedom? You can consider his act as a product of courage, naivety or insanity, but never a crime. Moreover, does this accusation justify covering the expenses of a prison-fortress for an old and sick prisoner?
In my humble opinion, this history only lacks an iron mask for being a perfect anachronism.”
Though not verbatim, it is quite similar to a post by our old best friend Kurt. Quote: “It is a great mistery indeed, paying the expenses of one hundred people to mantain a jail fortress for and old, sick , insane prisoner during 40 years, while Speer and others who had more responsibility and participation during the war were released in 1966. Doesn´t make any sense, but it was a great cruelty IMO.”
Not saying we should take any action towards the thread or Horst at present, but it is interesting to see.
