I just wanted to make sure that nobody thought I had any inklings of agreeing wiht what the nazis did. Karl Kaiser was a member of the Kriegsmarine and really is a nice Gentleman.

WW2 has been over for almost 60 years. I'm sure no one here thought that you might be a Nazi sympathizer, Ringo.

There were a lot of Germans during the years 1933-1945 who didn't subscribe to Adolf Hitler's policies, including my father-in-law. Because of his outspoken opposition to the Nazis, he was forced into the Wehrmacht and sent to the Russian front, where he turned up MIA. To this day, my wife has no idea what happened to her dad. Probably the only members of the German armed forces who really supported Hitler and the Nazi creed were those fanatics in the Waffen SS.

I've said it before but it bears repeating - I think much of his popularity stems from his image of a strong, courageous, honorable, individualistic, principled man worthy of admiration by all.
