I didn't say SS. I said nazi military.
No, but as Dane pointed out, former members of the Nazi Party were appointed because membership in the Party was a pre-requisite for any position of consequence in Nazi Germany. Therefore, just about any German administrator worth his salt had been a Nazi Party member.
Membership in the SS was something separate and in an entirely different league than job-related membership in the Nazi Party.
You, dinok, are the one who first brought up the "SS" analogy for this particular general.
From what little has come out, it seems that he was a military man would stayed out of politics. What other information do you have about this particular general that would justify your "SS" analogy.
As long as you are going to compare him to the SS without any particular justification for your comparison, dinok, why not go all the way and compare him to Satan himself and then point out that "Patton never appointed Satan to anything"?
