When I first read it, I was admittedly confused. The boasting, the lack of guilt... everything about this guy has me disgusted. But what really bugged me was this:
"He could no more be called evil than US commanders in World War II who dropped the atomic bomb to save lives, killing 300,000 people but with noble motives, he said."
A statement like that is bound to make people all over the world doubt his convictions. I know that newspapers have obligations to print what they know in order to share it with the public but, in my opinion, stories that could lead to sympathizing with a mass killer are simply not to be published. I'm not saying that everyone will suddenly say "oh, okay then, if that was your reason for killing ll those people, you can go", but people who were deeply effected by groups such as the Hitler Youth could ultimately start questioning the unrighteousness of his actions.
I don't know what went on in that camp, all I know is that nobody deserves to have their life taken away from them at an early age, especially not by an egotistical madman.
