I'm not sure I'd be okay with naming and shaming a dead guy that can't defend himself. Seems wrong somehow.

I guess it's a matter of how much time has past. If this was a mystery from the 1500s I wouldn't see any harm, but Nazis are still be tried and convicted for the crimes committed in the 1940s. It just seems too soon.
