That’s correct. And Ratzinger’s father stayed employed until his normal retirement, thus, as you admit, put him under the S.S.
That does not mean he was complicit in any S.S. actions as you are trying to imply. EVERY POLICE OFFICER IN GERMANY WAS UNDER THE S.S. BECAUSE THEIR UNITS (WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT) WERE PUT UNDER THE S.S. SO BY YOUR LOGIC EVERY POLICE OFFICER IN GERMANY AT THE TIME WAS ALSO COMPLICIT IN S.S. ACTIONS. THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL LEFT IMMEDIATELY. NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHAT ASPECT OF CIVILIAN LIFE AT THE TIME WAS NOT UNDER NAZI CONTROL? WHAT JOBS WERE OUTSIDE OF THE NAZI PURVIEW? WHAT BRANCH OF MUNICIPAL SERVICE WAS INDEPENDENT OF STATE CONTROL?
An archangel was sent from Heaven to say to the Theotokos: Rejoice! And beholding Thee, O Lord, taking bodily form, he was amazed and with his bodiless voice he stood crying to Her such things as these:
Rejoice, Thou through whom joy will shine forth:
Rejoice, Thou through whom the curse will cease!
Rejoice, recall of fallen Adam:
Rejoice, redemption of the tears of Eve!
Rejoice, height inaccessible to human thoughts:
Rejoice, depth undiscernible even for the eyes of angels!
Rejoice, for Thou art the throne of the King:
Rejoice, for Thou bearest Him Who beareth all!
Rejoice, star that causest the Sun to appear:
Rejoice, womb of the Divine Incarnation!
Rejoice, Thou through whom creation is renewed:
Rejoice, Thou through whom we worship the Creator!
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
Josepf Ratzinger, Sr. retired in 1937 at the age of 60, five years before the Orpo mandatory retirement age and within 6 months of the Orpo being transferred from the interior ministry to the SS.
His early retirement came as a consequence of the absorption of the Orpo into the national police force. As a member of the Bavarian State Police Joseph Ratzinger had been active in restraining the excesses of the Nazi party and was forced to move and forfeit promotion opportunities because of that.
Not that any of this has anything to do with the Pope, but this is illustrative of the depths some will stoop to to deride, belittle, and mock Catholics given the slightest opportunity.
