The NAzis were VERY green. As a pure "master race" they expected to purify their environment, which had been traduced by the unclean races which had threatened them, especially the Jews and profit mongering Jewish bankers, who ran and financed businesses which destroyed the environment.

Or so the Nazi jingoism went.

My grandfather was smart enough to escape before Hitler grasped the reins. (Where I get my common sense? I like to think so.)

He was a professional gardener. No kidding - he could bring a dead stick back to life. The dood was amazing. In his younger years, he was the caretaker for the Lindberg mansion in NJ. Just one proud family moment. (And his tomatoes were to DIE for!) It goes without saying that I grew up eating very well. The common sense transferred - the green thumb didn't.
