Oh I believe he’s a turd. No doubt about it. My point was the sheer amount of detail they had on him, when they wouldn’t put out much of anything over the recruit shooter, piss be upon him.
They’ve said he’s a WWII veteran, I don’t think they’ve said which side von Brunn was on, though...
Back in the ‘70s I worked with a “former” Hitler Youth. He was still quite viscerally enraged that the “wrong” side won.
