WW II?

The article says nothing about his activities during the Nazi period and WWII, which is rather odd.Bill (talk) 06:03, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He turned 80 in 1944, what kind of "activities" do you expect. HerkusMonte (talk) 14:31, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Nazis came to power in 1933 when he was 69 and a town councilor. Was he forced out of public life? Imprisoned? Exiled? He may not have been physically very active and may have been retired, but he still had a life and might have acted against the Nazis or might have been targeted by them.Bill (talk) 04:00, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
