From a comment to the blog:

"you have to respect their sense of honor, and their professional and leadership qualities" [with regard to the German soldier in World War Two. Even the Waffen SS men.]

Here is some additional stuff on the Waffen SS.

The above link is from the Jewish Virtual Library. In my opinion IT IS a very fair and even handed account of things. DOES ANYONE FIND THIS TO BE SURPRISING!!?? It is honest and tells the truth more or less as it was back then. I cannot fault this account in any way.

Also this:

Eduard Deisenhofer. Never heard of him before. A SS Mann AND an intellectual!! An intellectual!!?? Is there a contradiction here!!??

"Diesenhofer can be seen as an interesting example of the 'educated' SS man"

"Deisenhofer excelled in his studies at school from a young age. After his schooling, he pursued studies in the fields of politics and economics. He eventually received his PhD as a political economist."

"The involvement of intellectual men like Deisenhofer in the NSDAP [Nazi] movement is thought to offer historical evidence that it was not an anti-intellectual movement, but a perversion of the intellectual."

What is one to make of such a man??!!
