A top Democrat fundraising boss in Michigan shared a picture honoring her grandfather, who fought for Nazi Germany in World War II, on Veterans Day.
Kelly Neumann, a fundraising co-chair for several Democratic candidates, shared images of her late grandfather, Albert Neumann, on Facebook in 2024.
The unearthed post was a tribute to all of her family and friends who served in the miliary, including Albert, who she said was on the 'German side in WWI & WWII.'
In her post, Neumann, who is also a principal attorney at Neumann Law Group, shared images of her grandfather in his military uniform.
Albert Neumann is wearing the uniform of a German Army officer, as a regular career soldier who fought for both the German Empire in Word War I and Nazi Germany in World War II.
The Nazis, officially called the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), was the totalitarian political party of German dictator Adolf Hitler.
They were responsible for the murder of six million Jews, and millions more Poles, Slavs, Roma, disabled people, and other minorities, during the Holocaust.
Regular Wehrmacht soldiers like Albert Neumann were not necessarily Nazi members and are not to be confused with the ruthless SS units that committed war crimes during World War II.
Veterans Day is a national holiday in the US that honors allied military members who sacrificed their lives for the country during their time in the armed forces.

Hey Pritzger, stand and take notice and realize that the demoncRATS are the real nazis.
The nazis were national (aryan nationalism) socialists.
All forms of Socialism are way on the left/liberal side of the spectrum
Therefore democrats are the party where all socialists reside.
If any side is “the nazis”, its the left/democrats.
They hate we are correct about this. They know it and they hate it. It drives them crazy.
Technically speaking
It’s fairly relevant whether he was a Nazi party member or not
Did I miss that?
That won’t stop the uninformed
Of course democrats get a pass anyhow
“Could the Michigan Bar at least sanction Kelly Neumann for honoring a nazi?”
Not really. She’s a D. So a left-wing bar knows that her intentions were pure.
He didn’t believe in National Socialism... He was just along for the ride. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
“Let’s not bicker and argue about who killed who.”
Monty Python, of course.
I had personal acquaintance of ywo Wehrmacht members who after the war came to America, became naturalized citizens, and with their wives were very diligent self-supporting fine contributing conservative members of the communities where I met them. They were my respected friends with encouragement for my own military service that of my WWII and Korean war conjoint instructors.
Just because Kelly Neumann;s grandfather chose to remain in Germany and perhaps tried to restore and keep a law-abiding role supporting a peace-keeping society should not deprive him at all of the bragging rights of his progeny. He is not under judgment or condemnation any more, as those wholeheartedly emmeshed in Naziism ought to be.
He was in the German Army during World War I, becoming a professional apparently long before there was a Hitler or Nazi Party. At the time Poland was invaded, tht was only about 20 years later. Maybe being a soldier was the only trade he had in the Great Depression (in which Germany suffred much harder times after WWI than the USA) to support his family.
Drafted?
No, he was career military and if he served between the wars in the 100,000 man Versaille Treaty limited Reichwehr he was probably pretty highly regarded by his superiors.
Just keep quiet and hope no one remembers
I tend to agree with your post. The older I get the more compassion I have for the soldiers that had to follow orders and serve their country, even if that country was our enemy.
When I watch a WWII dog fight and see a Messerschmidt go down in flames I think of the guy in that plane being burned to death, much the same as I think of Americans about to die in a B17 headed for the ground.
Good one.
If he was born around 1900, he would have probably been drafted in 1917. By the end of WWII, he would have been 45 years old with 27 years’ service in the Wehrmacht.
Probably drafted into the army in 1917 or 18. He chose to remain in the army after WWI
