Yep, the ex-SS man must have been a draftee in the Waffen-SS. The actual SS had only volunteers and in the Waffen-SS, there were also lots of draftees. That´s why I have no problem that Reagan payed tribute to the fallen Germans (Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS) during his visit in Bitburg in the 80´s. But let´s not forget, it is generally correct to say that the average Wehrmacht soldier was not to blame while the average SS guy bears a whole lot of guilt.
