I Am Artur Axmann. [Not Guilty}

[The Valkyrie]

Art, the user name you go by here sounds kind of incriminating.
Might be just a subliminal thing, but why did you choose such a handle?

I was impressed with his bio and the fact that he did not commit "CRIMES" during his tenure ,working hard in the 3rd.Reich.. His hands were clean...


He was arrested in December 1945 when a Nazi underground movement which he had been organizing, was uncovered. A Nuremberg de-Nazification court sentenced him in May 1949 to a prison sentence of 3 years and three months as a 'major offender'. Axmann subsequently worked as a sales representative in Gelsenkirchen and Berlin. On 19 August 1958, a West Berlin de-Nazification court fined the former Hitler Youth Leader 35,000 marks (approximately 3,000 pounds), about half the value of his property in Berlin. The court found him guilty of indoctrinating German youth with National Socialism right until the end of the Third Reich, but concluded that he had been a Nazi from inner conviction rather than base motives.

He was found not guilty of having committed any crimes during the Nazi era.
Unlike his namesake here in the Atheist Forums era.
