His parents likely would've been killed had he not gone, and I think he deserted the Nazi army in 1945 IIRC. There might be reasons not to like the guy's selection, but I really don't think the HJ thing holds any water.

He'll be a great leader, just one who has a lot of enemies around him. I give Benny 16 about 4-5 years before he either dies of illness or is murdered.

He’ll be a great leader, just one who has a lot of enemies around him.
