I've read he also did some work for the CIA in the '50s. But he was (outwardly at least) a staunch Nazi -- seems to me like he got off far too easily.
The scar that was famous in literature (I have a nice facial scar).
“Dueling scars (German: Schmisse) have been seen as a “badge of honour” since as early as 1825. Known variously as “Mensur scars”, “the bragging scar”, “smite”, “Schmitte” or “Renommierschmiss”, dueling scars were popular amongst upper-class Austrians and Germans involved in academic fencing at the start of the 20th century. Being a practice amongst university students, it was seen as a mark of their class and honour, due to the status of dueling societies at German and Austrian universities at the time, and is an early example of scarification in European society. The practice of duelling and the associated scars was also present to some extent in the German military.
American tourists visiting Germany in the late 19th century were shocked to see the students, generally with their Studentcorp, at major German universities such as Heidelberg, Bonn, or Jena with facial scars – some older, some more recent, and some still wrapped in bandages.”
As the scars were gained in this particular elite social context, associated with status and an academic institution, the scars showed that one had courage and also was “good husband material”. The duelling scars, while obvious, were not so serious as to leave a person disfigured or bereft of facial features. The scars were even judged by Otto von Bismarck to be a sign of bravery, and men’s courage could be judged “by the number of scars on their cheeks”.[5]

Himmler had to pay one of his fellow students to mark him.
Germany had some weird quirks long before the Nazi's popped up.
