Former Nazi: “Today’s Leftist Youth Like Hitler’s Storm Troopers”

I don’t think this guy is a former Nazi, from what I’ve been able to tell, although he was a POW under them in in a camp in Yugoslavia.

At this post at Gateway Pundit there was a youtube video of this guy talking about how leftists of today are like yesterday’s nazi storm troopers. Unfortunately, the video is no longer available.

Still, some of the narrative was captured:

From Hannity and Colmes:

Hilmar Von Campe: Well, I did see (the Columbia University Minuteman attack video) before. I did see the video about the event before. That was no surprise for me. We had, we called them “storm troopers”. Hitler had storm troopers who would shut up the opposition. And, that is what these people were trying to do, the same thing.

Alan Colmes: Well, they rushed the stage with banners last week and that was wrong but it seems like the first punch was thrown by those defending the Minutemen- and that’s where the violence came from. That’s wrong too isn’t it?

Hilmar Von Campe: I have not seen that I don’t know. But, I know that the Minutemen did not go out to fight with these invaders, so to speak.

I found his website, and it is very interesting.

More on Von Campe:

Born in Germany in 1925, von Campe offers a seldom heard Christian perspective on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. His testimony and the wealth of his inside stories are fascinating, including his escape from a POW prison camp in Yugoslavia, crossing 7 borders back to his family. He witnessed first hand the terrible consequences of self deception and lack of character in the leadership. He saw the world plunged into war and his nation and family destroyed.

After the war he faced the hard facts of the Holocaust, experienced profound moral change and set out on the road of restitution for the crimes of a German government, in which he did not take part, and reconciliation. He was received twice by the then executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Center in Washington, Dr. David Weinstein, and apologized to him for the suffering Germany had inflicted on the Jewish people. He told him, “that the crimes of the Nazis were only possible because of the moral cowardice of so many of us non-Nazis.”
