Nonsense, rory.

NRK showed an interesting documentary about two brothers last night. One served as an officer in the SS, the other was a prisoner of the gestapo, first in Norway then in Germany. The reason why he was in the SS, was that his brother was first sentenced to death, but if he would serve in the SS, his brother would be sentenced to prison instead. After the war, he was accused of treason along with all the others affiliated with the nazi's. In the trial, his brother and father testified that this was the reason he joined the SS, and the judge found him not guilty. "Get out of here, you don't belong here, you're not a bad man. You're free." was the words of the judge.
