His family was fairly well hounded by the Nazi regime (they murdered one of his cousins who had Down’s Syndrome). He was conscripted into the Hitler Youth at 14, but refused to attend meetings. He trained as an infantryman, but deserted his post rather than shoot Allied troops. Did a few months as a POW, but was released when the war ended.
Though technically a Nazi, he seems to have been pretty unenthusiastic about it.
