I decided to go see what this dude Iott actually had to say about his reenactment stuff. The initial report seemed to make sense, he was just part of a WWII reenactment group, but his further statements on Anderson Cooper kind of make me wonder.

I can understand respecting the enemy and trying to understand what people went through. This guy's statements make me more than a bit suspicious though. He claims we can't judge them. Maybe he is just inordinantly fair and non-judgemental or something, but I think we have a general societal agreement that the Nazi SS were bad, m'kay?
