To your first point, uh no. While I would have been far tougher on the Nazis if I had been in charge of it all, the Allies made up laws at Nueremberg with which to charge the Nazis they caught. It was "victors' justice." Lots of them (far, far more than got it) deserved a bullet in the back of the head. But to invent laws another sovereign state would never have bound itself to and then to retroactively charge leaders with breaking laws that never existed in their country, well, that doesn't really pass the smell test to me. I would have taken the Russian route - summary execution for anyone with the SS tattoo on their arm. No need to pretend they were bound by laws made up after the fact. Take them out and that's that.
To your second point, no I'm not fine with it. They should still have their citizenship revoked. They don't need to be here for it. They can hire lawyers to go to their hearings or they can come back themselves. They never should have been allowed in anyway.
