Yeah, I’ll bet he told immigration all about being in the SS, huh? (Since it was only because they were throwing a bone to Hungary - where they USED to have all those pesky Jews and Gypsies.)
You know what you learn in books, which over the years has been shown to be a lot of crapola, since I have family that lived through the destruction of their country by the Germans, then the Russians and finally the liberating Americans. My Grandfather escaped the Russians conscription to work camps at the last minute and my Mother helped care for the Jews after the war, so I think I will go with knowledge of the people who lived through it rather give credence to your opinions. And as for my Godfather, do you really believe that the government did not know about everyone that was in the military? Of course you know better!
