Yuppers. It amazes me at the number of people who feel the need to demonize the guy because he was a Nazi-- The operative word here is
was. I said this earlier, but I'll say it again. The views of those looking in from the outside are vastly different (And often incorrect) than the views of those on the inside looking outward.

It's easy to say what someone else should or shouldn't have done when you live in a vastly different time period.
