Apropos of nazi canards yet to come, if anyone's interested I can recommend a book called "A Child of Hitler" by Alfons Heck. He was a Hitler Youth as a young boy but very soon caught on. He remained in Germany and survived nazism. The humanity of this man is inspiring, and he offers insight and seeks forgiveness while trying to explain how such a thing can happen in the hopes of preventing another such era. I didn't expect to enjoy the book but I did tremendously. Looking back at events is a much different lens than that of contemporary pressures.

I'm not familiar with the book you mention, but this one

is the autobiography of Father Gereon Goldman, who was an SS officer while a seminarian!

Be vigilant always.

It could happen anywhere!
