[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4618799, member: 2844"]Unfortunately not all Nazis were German. There were some deluded and very right wing young Dutch men who joined the SS. Many of them with a criminal record and ready to fight the wrong fight. Needless to say they had to stand trial and their Dutch citizenship was revoked after WWII. There were also quite a few Flemish young men who joined, due to the conflict between the language communities in Belgium. I know there were deluded and nasty people in other parts of Europe as well. Having been raised in a Dutch Resistance family after the war (Resistance mentality continued), I choke every time I see Nazi memorablia. Absolutely. There were also German Resistance groups, for instance. My grandparents knew the family of an anti-Nazi journalist who had fled Germany in the 30s. After the war the journalist's widow and children were about to be sent to a prison camp, but my grandfather, with his name in the Resistance, vouched for them and they were set free.[/QUOTE]
