hmmm, using the belief in "Endsieg" is complete b*llocks, because otherwise the SS would had hanged him for deserting or cowardice. I have not read a biography about Major Nowotny, was he a Nazi? What about the others like Doenitz, Rommel and Paulus? There's a (very) thin line between soldiers and politicians...
I don't think it was possible at that time to be a leader anywhere without being in the Nazi-party or being part of the SS. It would be interesting to find out what he thinks about Freiherr Wernher von Braun. Yeah, he helped the Americans to win the conquest for the moon, but he used the Nazi regime to continue/widen his studies in rocketry.
