The Pope...a Nazi??

Okay, no, Pope Benedict is not a Nazi. He grew up in a town that was right in the middle of the whole Nazi Germany thing just a few miles away from Hitler. A lot of people around him in his town resisted, but his family stayed quiet. And, like all young men at the time, he joined Hitler youth. This didn't just happen to him, tons and tons of people went through the exact same thing...only they didn't go on to be pope, so it's not really that important in their lives.
