Not necessarily.
One of the Germans I knew over there was the son of a Kriegsmarine officer. Among his (the son’s) prized possessions were his father’s military memorabilia *and* his letter from the denazification (court? agency? whatever) declaring that the officer had not been a party member and had lost promotion opportunities as a result.

Right after the wall came down in the early 90’s, Germany was fun as all hell.

Very interesting. I didn't know that. I thought that Nazi Party membership was de facto mandatory for all German armed forces during that period.
Didn't every German soldier have a swastika on his uniform during WWII, whether a Party member or not?
