I don't think he was much of a Nazi. He was eleven years old on VE Day.

True, and according to one account he grew up in Switzerland. The von Puttkamers were a very prominent Prussian family who played important roles in the military down through the centuries. Karl-Jesco von Puttkamer was Hitler's naval adjudant. I haven't been able to find any close connection, though. In any case, this Jesco von Puttkamer was too young to have played any role in the war.
