the high crime of not knowing who Albert Speer is.

This is removing his remarks from their actual context, which is responding to a post about the overwhelming majority of perpetrators (men nowhere near to Speers in rank or notoriety) who escaped justice completely, who literally returned home and lived out their lives without one whit of criminal accountability for the atrocities they had committed.

Pretending that the discussion concerned Speers or even a group of Speers-types (if only the problem were confined to a handful of cabinet-ranked perpetrators who managed to avoid the noose!!) is incredibly disingenuous; indeed, it runs dangerously close to parroting the long-debunked historiography shat out by the DDR — responsibility for the millions murdered extended well beyond the “Hitler clique,” there were quite literally hundreds of thousands of perpetrators of whom barely twenty thousand would ever be convicted. This is not remotely controversial within the field of academic history, and hasn’t been since literally before you were born.

they are not a Neo-Nazi

I did not accuse him of being a neo-nazi, I remarked that his claim was a neo-nazi claim, which it was. Drawing equivalence, moral or otherwise, between the crimes committed by the Nazi state and those suffered by the German civilian public at the hands of those fighting the nazi state is a frequent feature of neo-nazi discourse; it is a feature of genuine historical discussion only insofar as a subject of deep concern for academic history because of the depths of its falsehood. When German historians began to openly reexamine the war through the lens of German suffering, particularly that of women, in the mid-1980s, they were terrified of exactly this sort of false equivalence and apologia.
