"You were there to protect them from crazy civilians

[piece-itpete]

I love the stories. My SO used to 'babysit' an elderly German woman when she was a kid, the lady told her that between the wars the Germans were treated like dirt in Europe, at one time she was actually put in stocks with her mother for stealing apples out of an orchard (no one would give them work).

My last name was changed during WW1 because it sounded too German (it was Czech), my ancestors were being harrased.

She also believed the things Hitler did were lies, that he was a great man.

And that's why I think perhaps this gent in question went maybe a little too far. They were still sieg heiling...

Of course we wouldn't let them fight alongside us.
