Interesting. I'm going to have to re-read that a couple of times to figure out where my Grandfather's half-brother fits in. Grand-dad was an international socialist while his half-brother was a national socialist, and became stationmaster of his town from 1938 to 1945. Both were born illegitimate, but their mother married Franz's father. He received the education, the books and the clothes, and Grand-dad, 2-3 years older, received hand-me downs (ups?) when he received anything, but never the books for school. Grand-dad became an international socialist, and after he emigrated to America, he (perhaps unsurprisingly) became a Democrat. An interesting, thought-provoking article, particularly for being written before Pearl Harbor.
