Hanging Heidegger and Celine along with the nazi generals in Nuremberg after ww2. Justified?

[dannubis]

Should they have been executed for being notorious intelectuals who supported nazism?

I think that had that happened, later intelectuals would have been much more wary of supporting monstruous acts, like the many leftist intelectuals who defended Stalin in the 60s and 70s (Sartre for example).

Dude, it would have made the US missile program advance a lot slower.... Von Braun...
