Here’s the neo-Nazi stance on our embattled nurse:

Can’t find anything else. I would wager she was just a German nurse. Given her highly public career afterward, if she’'d done anything worse than tend to soldiers, I’m sure Simon Weisenthal or someone else would have inquired a long time ago.

Now, given that, she’s still wacky.

Sorry TwistofFate, I should have posted “then shoot that good looking peace loving man whom has done everything in his power to stop terrorism and live in peace with his neighbors”. Now that would be ignorant.
