Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn’t white is somehow unqualified.
I bet that if the internet existed in the 1930s the Nazi party would have scrubbed their official websites of any heroes who were not 100% aryan.
It would include Hitler’s CO. The guy who recommended he get his medals and called him a brave soldier.
Nono, he’s “one of the good ones”
Nope. He escaped the holocaust by an inch simply because he knew some people in the SS who were mildly sympathetic to him personally. He was exiled from Germany to Belgium and he managed to immigrate to the US just before the Germans invaded.
He passed away in the early 1960s in San Diego. He was one of the fortunate ones. Being Hitler’s CO didn’t do him any favors.
It sounds like it did do him favors. He wasn’t just fortunate, his bootlicking is what allowed him to survive in exile and immigrate to the US.
