In his lifetime, he had always claimed to have served as a medic in the Wehrmacht. Reruns of the series were promptly pulled off the German and Dutch public channels. It remains unknown if he joined freely or with coercion.
* In 2006, Günter Grass, author of ''Literature/TheTinDrum'' and Nobel Prize recipient, revealed that he had been a member of the Waffen-SS at the age of 17. However, this was due to being conscripted, not voluntary enlistment, and the Panzer division he served in was unusual in the SS for ''not'' committing atrocities. Nonetheless, it caused quite some stir, because until then he was regarded by many to be sort of Germany's conscience regarding the country's Nazi past. Of course, his view of the Nazi era may have been shaped in part ''from'' this. It must be noted that desertion or draft resistance in Nazi Germany were punishable by death. Much of the criticism rested on his failure to reveal this for so many years.
