[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"][quote]Ratzinger could not have been pressed into the HJ at 9, let alone at 10. Your grandfather may have been in the Hitler Jugend at 14 but not at 10. The Hitler Jugend and Jungvolk were two separate male Staatsjugend organizations, with membership separated by age. posted by Rothko at 11:05 AM PST on July 27 [/quote] Rothko you're splitting hairs on terminology here, and I'm calling bullshit on it. The fact is that Ratzinger was pressed into *A* Nazi youth organization of some kind at 9, and my grandfather at 10. You suggested that he could have rebelled here, which would have resulted in his death at nine years of age. That's a disgusting thing to say, end of discussion. posted by Ryvar at 11:10 AM PST on July 27 [/quote]
