Confession: I learned German through middle and high school because I used to be a wehraboo I used to watch a lot of the history channel, I found a book called "Hitler Moves East 1941-1943" or something like that fascinating and read it over and over because I was so impressed by the large amounts of prisoners and equipment captured (I'm still a sucker for statistics.) As if to fill out a bingo card, in German class we had a thing where we went by German names and I went by "Erwin." 

I never considered shaving my head, joining a Neo-Nazi group, and things like that. I never denied the Holocaust either. I just fetishized all the military stuff (tactics, equipment, etc.) 

Anyway, thanks everyone for giving me a more grown-up perspective on all this.
