Yes and when he was in the military, he worked for an air defense unit guarding a BMW factory! True!

Not something to be proud of!

A disturbing and little-known aspect of the Nazi slave labor system was the involvement of big business. Many of the most respected German corporations had no scruples about using concentration camp labor. A company’s decision to use slave labor was voluntary. By the end of 1944, one half a million ghetto and concentration camp inmates were chained to hundreds of corporations. The greatest offenders were either state-owned enterprises – such as BRABAG, the Herman Goring Works, and Volkswagen – or munitions and arms makers, such as Junkers, Messerschmitt, Heinkel, Krupp, Dynamit Nobel, and Rheinmetall-Borsig. By 1943, almost every major private corporation was complicit, including BMW.

Well, in regards to what one could be doing in Hitler's Army, me thinks working an anti-aircraft gun is not too bad. The past is the past in my book. Additionally, in case you didn't know, service in the military under Hitler wasn't voluntary.
