Americans, Germans, and War Crimes Justice

Description

Borkum and Voerde are two towns in northwestern Germany. They are isolated by minimal in excess of 100 miles straight from one point to the other yet differ altogether. Since the nineteenth century, the island of Borkum, some portion of the North Sea Frisian archipelago, has been a well known (and, before World War II, famously against Semitic) get-away retreat, with the town of Borkum’s economy fixated on taking into account a prospering visit ist exchange. In any case, Borkum in the mid-twentieth century had a schizophrenic character. Imparting the island to lodgings and shops serving get-away ers and occupants in the town on Borkum’s southwestern corner were substantial beachfront safeguard firearms toward the north, framing some portion of the defensive chain securing Germany’s North Sea coast. A German official positioned there during World War I gracefully called upon Borkum to “ensure the boats that look for a place of refuge, protect the terrain with your solid arm.”
