The article on yahoo said that he wan't a Hitler youth by choice and actually went awol. He was actually a us prisoner of war for a short time when they discovered that he was a German soldier. It sounds like he is super conservative and judgemental. I do not agree with much of anything that the Catholic church stands for, but conservative sounds like a good plan to me.
Catholic conservatism and Republican conservatism are faaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr from the same thing!
