I reckon the pics posted show the results of a few sadists taking advantage of wartime freedoms and lack of accountability.
Not much different from the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, late Sixties. The Bosnian conflict in the Nineties. War affords opportunities to wankers.
But it's very easy indeed for pics like those to be used to create a global mindset of pity, then sympathy, then vengeance.
Look at the paradigm that's grown up around the Holohoax. Who here didn't grow up 'knowing' about the hallowed six million?
Generations of wanker teachers teaching bullshit to the teachers of the future.
Then at home, we have the television news and duped parents to pass 'history' on to us, and convince us that we should care.
As for populations, out of sight, out of mind. Anyway, what were ordinary citizens gonna do? Travel internationally and liberate the camps?
And the troops were going with the flow. That's what soldiers do. That's what primary organisations like the military do.
