9. Sound familiar?
While Ratzinger was prancing about the Munich BMW weapons factory in his Hitler Youth uniform, watching Dachau concentration camp victims being forced to labor there, other youth from Munich had joined the resistance known as The White Rose. Here is a small excerpt from one account:

"In February 1943, the Gauleiter (District Leader) of Bavaria, Paul Giesler, addressed the students at the University of Munich. By then, he was already aware of some of the White Rose activities. He sneeringly said that the female students should be producing children for the Reich rather than wasting time studying and added: "If some of the girls lack sufficient charm to find a mate, I will assign each of them one of my adjutants." Female students who attempted to leave the session were arrested by the Gestapo, which led to a general riot and the eventual freedom of the women."

Looks as if the more things change, the more they stay the same.
