My grandfather is German and was in the Hitler Youth for a brief period. His family was part of a group of Germans in the Baltic states who were fleeing towards Germany away from the Russians and they were very poor. After the war he immigrated here as a Displaced Person I believe. Unlike this asshole he realized that the stuff he was taught as a kid was all B.S. and left it behind him to start a new life. Obviously the things that his people did during the war were atrocious, and I think there is a general sentiment of shame among all of them. But then theres this guy who gives people like my grandfather a bad name.
