Nobody knows where they came from and where they went after the war. The only true Nazis were the members of Hitler's inner circle. Everybody else was more or less against the Nazis.

He said that Filbinger "was not a national socialist. Far from it: He was an opponent of the Nazi regime". This "opponent of the Nazi regime" was Member of the National Socialist German Student Association since 1933 Member of SA since 1934 Member of NSDAP since 1937 Judge in the German Navy since 1943 As a state attorney and judge he was responsible for the death sentences against 4 supposed deserters and looters In June 1945 – four weeks after the war has ended! – he sentenced a supposed deserter to 13 month of jail. 1951 he became meber of CDU (the conserative party) 1966 he became prime minister of Baden-Wuerttemberg Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0200 http://frombelow.net/index.php?lang=en&id=1068#id http://frombelow.net/index.php?lang=en&id=1068#id Jungle World presents excerpts from Frank Kelly Rich's book "The Modern Drunkard".
