Just after I got out of school, I had the experience of working for a couple of years with a former Staff Sergeant from the Waffen-SS. Other guys working in the same place were a Hitlerjugend something-or-other-fuhrer, a Dutch collaborator, an American draft-dodger (WW2), a couple of Dutch Underground types, a Polish janitor who served with 3 armies and was held prisoner by two others, a Yugoslav Partizan, a Swiss butcher who hated EVERYBODY because he had spent 6 years "freezing my a$$ off in the mountains.... and NOBODY CAME!!!!!", several Russian refugees, several Ukrainians who hated the Russians and (my direct boss) a guy who had spent the war years in the Merchant Marine on convoy runs, merrily dodging U-boats for 6 years. And almost everybody still had a grudge left over from the War.
