Scum Such As This

It was 1945 and Dr. Goebbel wasn't doing as well
as he seemed to fare in those years prior to '45.
Things were changing in the Political Arena and
the Military Dictatorship and now Dr. Goebbell
was considering a relocation to Argentina, where
he could retire and blend in and perhaps pretend
that he never knew what was happening in Germany
in the 1940's, especially his part along with
the likes of Hitler and Goring, in expediating
the extermination of many millions and millions
of Jews as if they were no better than rats.
But alas, it didn't happen like that, for upon
those days before Goebbel could leave Berlin,
and before Gobbell could compel himself to leave
his beloved Hitler, the Russians were rapidly
closing in on Berlin and they had a few scores
to settle with the likes of Hitler and Goebbel,
and it would have been well if these men had
never been born to spread their hatred and their
sorrow upon a world that had their fill and were
committed to capture or kill scum such as this.

Scum of the Earth Triptych/Part 01

Hitler knowing his fate committed suicide in the
Berlin Bunker on April 30, 1945.   Shortly
thereafter Goebbel did the same on May 01, 1945.

What a shame that they didn't commit suicide
ten years sooner James, we would all be better off.

James,

Good riddence to bad rubbish.  Hitler and Goebbels were animals.

Animals, Bobby?  I thought you knew better than that.     Animals know no sin and would never do what Hitler and his cohorts did.

Indeed.  When there are so many WWII documentaries on television, it is easy to lose sight of the humanity of it all (especially since most of them focus on military tactics rather than real life stories).  Great spine chilling read.

Death, self inflicted is often not enough for
those who bring such terror and death upon
innocent beings.
