Two years later Ratzinger was enrolled in an anti-aircraft unit that protected a BMW factory making aircraft engines. The workforce included slaves from Dachau concentration camp.
Ratzinger has insisted he never took part in combat or fired a shot adding that his gun was not even loaded because of a badly infected finger. He was sent to Hungary, where he set up tank traps and saw Jews being herded to death camps. He deserted in April 1944 and spent a few weeks in a prisoner of war camp.
Look,if your nickname is "God's Rotweiller" you may not be the best available ambassador for Peace on Earth.
Note: Blogger spellcheck seems to agree with me as it suggests replacing "Ratzinger" with "reticence"
