How significant was Weigelt's time as a "supporting member of the SS" compared to everything else he did in his life including the resurrection of Lufthansa? Did he kill anyone? Did he order the killing of anyone? Or is he a "war criminal" because the Allies chose to define the SS as a "criminal organization" and define all members of the SS as "war criminals" regardless of their individual actions? For instance, would a member of the SS who participated in Operation Valkyrie be defined as a "war criminal" post-war because they had been a member of the SS? 2603:800C:3944:BC00:BCA8:5330:B9BB:CD21 (talk) 22:19, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
