I bet he still has his uniform.
Herr Ratzinger (sp) was a member of the Hitler Youth (as where most German boys in the Nazi era). If I remember correctly he was also a Leutnant der Reserve in Das Heer, but I've no recollection of his being a member of the Nazi Party.... Perhaps someone can supply info that proves/disproves this ?
