stationed the minister also had to address the issue of nazi era military memorabilia. in soldiers rooms. and more and more bizarre details of the franco our case were emerging. he had studied at university during his time in the boondocks fair back then an internal critique of his master s thesis said it was. not a work suitable for an academic qualification but a radical nationalist and racist call to arms. but in january twenty fourth teen the responsible military lawyer played down the case and swept it under the carpet. the investigations have produced no indications that the soldier has sympathies incompatible with his duty as a soldier. with that was cleared in the eyes of the boy in despair he was even appointed to be a regular soldier as there was nothing negative in his personnel record all the control mechanisms had failed. the bonus there insists that
