>>510115716 (OP)I am a German immigrant to the USA. My Grandfather and his 3 brothers served in the Luftwaffe. Not because they wanted, but because their father forced them to enlist.
My Great-grandfather was a very smart man, known throughout the little town as "workers movement guy" and unionist. Once things got tight, and polarized, he was known as a red one.
2 out of 4 sons survived because they enlisted as airforce mechanic and bulldozer driver. One died because he was a Messerschmidt pilot, one was MIA in France as rear guard police officer.
Moral of the story - if shit hits the fan, you want to enlist as something away from the front, not wait until you get conscripted into the SS.
Stay safe, love thy neighbor, kill the traitors first.
