War criminals are never not guilty and many of these kids became exactly that. However, many were also forced into service under threat of violence, which we need to acknowledge was not their responsibility. Kids are fighting the wars of the oldee generations. In Nazi Germany they pretty much had to fight for the nazis, because their parents and grandparents thought nazism was cool.
Blame is on everyone, but in different amounts.
