He was a young teen during WWII

The Hitler Youth (nice try) was COMPULSORY for all German youth.

It isn't as if he had a choice in what he did during those years.

Still, it makes for a very easy target. I'm quite surprised they chose a guy who was hitler youth, even if it was compulsory.

He denounced the teachings and deserted his unit at the first opportunity.

WTF should he be made to suffer for a situation he did not cause?

He shouldn't, but he obviously is. I suppose I won't refer to him as a hitler youth again unless I'm bored, but it doesn't mean others won't. I mean it seems to me that if you're electing a new pope you do a lot of background checking and wonder how PR will be able to spin it. Being in the hitler youth is a PR nightmare. I can't believe they voted him in.

Sounds to me like a good way to expose the simpletons who mindlessly parrot BS.

Let's face it. Anyone who starts with this line of crap is instantly owned by the facts.

Yep, those who spout it off come off as either uninformed or haters or both.
 
The rest of the world is not like America. Here in America you say, "Hitler made the trains run on time", and a whole host of Jewish organizations, the ACLU, the media, etc. etc. will be on your case until you prostrate yourself in front of a rabbi, and even then you will be labelled an anti-semite for the rest of your life. In the rest of the world, nobody gives a sh|t, especially when it comes to this kind of ultra-Zionist baiting. Just witness the pathetic attempts to smear Arnold Schwarzeneggar as a Nazi when he was running for govornor. In Europe or South America, that would have been a non-issue.
 
While I hate the fact that he was involved with Hilter Youth, that was decades ago and I suppose people can change. However, he looks particularly evil in that picture. I dunno. We're going to be doing the whole conclave thing again in a few years anyway.

There was always the choice of joining the resistance.

I'm sorry, did someone hold a gun to his head saying "join the hitler youth or die"? Well even if they did, he chose the hitler youth over standing up for what's right and taking a bullet for it.

Who cares.

He made the conscious decision to join the Nazis.

I can gaurandamntee, that give the same choice, you would have done the same thing. Legitimate fear of death has a way of changing your mind real quick.
And just because someone served in the army doesn't mean they were an evil Jew hating bastard. There are plenty of reports of high ranking Nazi officalls giving aid to jews and prisoners because they knew what was going on was wrong, but if they spoke up, not only would they suffer, but their families would suffer.

My previous post was a joke, albeit a bad one, but your post is outright stupid.

Jerusalem Post on the issue
...he resisted quietly and passively, rather than having done something drastic enough to earn him a trip to a concentration camp. Of course, whenever it is said that a German failed the exceptional-resistance-to-the-Nazis test, it would behoove us all to recognize that too many Jews failed it, as well.

Maybe AT should set up an anti-Nik party and persecute all Nik's.
Well, at least the Nik's deserve it.
 
In December of 1936, Hitler Youth membership stood at just over 5 million. That same month, the Hitler Youth became obligatory and membership was required by law (Gesetz über die Hitlerjugend). This obligation was affirmed in 1939 with the Jugenddienstpflicht. Membership could be enforced even against the will of the parents. From that point, most of Germany's teenagers were incorporated into the Hitler Youth, and by 1940, the total membership reached eight million. Later war figures are difficult to calculate, since massive conscription efforts and a general call-up of boys as young as ten years old meant that virtually every young male in Germany was, in some way, connected to the Hitler Youth.

Notable people who were members of the Hitler Youth include Stuttgart mayor Manfred Rommel, former foreign minister of Germany Hans-Dietrich Genscher, and the then-14-year-old Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger). Hans Scholl, one of the leading figures of the Anti-Nazi resistance movement White Rose (Weiße Rose), also became a member of the Hitler Youth.

Because they are stalling, The guy isn't going to last long.
 
I think we should drop the Hitler Youth thing and just focus on the fact that he looks fvcking evil. 😛

Seriously though, I have nothing against him... just kind of creepy to look at. Imagine what he'd look like if he were pissed...

Pretty much. If he did not join the Hitler Youth, him and his family probably would've been carted off to a concentration camp. He did not make a conscious decision to join the Nazis.

Please get a fvcking clue.
