Zitat des Tages über SS:
I was not a member of the SS.
I did not volunteer for the Waffen SS, but was, as were thousands of my year group, conscripted. I did not then know as a 17-year-old that it was a criminal unit. I thought it was an elite unit.
Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State.
In 1934, the American Jewish charities offered to find homes for 300 German refugee children. We were on the SS Washington, bound for New York, Christmas 1934.
I'm afraid the SS's relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny.
If I had known it I would have told my son, I'd rather shoot you than let you join the SS. But I didn't know.
