he hated Nazism, but he was drafted and those who refused the draft were sent to concentration camps. Thus he had no choice but to go to the front against the soviets, where he sabatoged his platoons machine gun Then surrendered without resistance.

This is a True story according to his diary.

      If you can speak German:

      If not I could translate for you a bit. Basically if you got their full name and date (plus location) of birth there is a good chance you might find out what of the two options is more likely true.

            I'm still unsure. I know nothing about him, not his name or date of birth. Only one who would is my dad, and he's reserved about this stuff. If he'd give me his name I would just ask him if he was a nazi or not. I'll ask my sister if she knows anything.
