why wasn't this traitor arrested and detained in the UK?

..he fled Germany to the UK and fought against his homeland because he didn't agree with mandated German laws that involved transporting citizens to Auschtwitz.

2. Prior to 1939 what did he do that might make him a traitor??? eom

5. Prior or after 1939...

What is the difference?

The man joined a foreign army and fought against his homeland.

Are there degrees of being a traitor?

7. Your question was why wasn't he arrested in the UK. There was not reason...

Leaving a country for another does not make one a traitor. It happens all the time.
He didn't join the British army until after Britain and Germany were at war.
And if you define that as being a traitor to Germany, fine...but there would be no reason after 1939,
the year war was declared and the year he joined the army, for Britain to arrest him.

That is why.

3. Are you attempting to compare Snowden to this guy? What a stupid comparison.

6. The only person attempting to make a comparison seems to be you

I have merely pointed out that people sometimes make decisions for highly moral reasons and they can include breaching normal laws.

8. Your comparison doesn't make sense...

By the time he became "a traitor" to Germany, by joining the British army, the UK and Germany were at war.
