Overview
- A researcher hired in early 2025 found that Christian Glas joined the NSDAP on December 1, 1931, and transferred on August 15, 1944 to the Waffen-SS as a radio operator.
- Records show he was assigned from September 11, 1944 to the 21st SS Mountain Division "Skanderbeg," which had been implicated in crimes in the Balkans earlier that year, with no evidence of his personal involvement.
- Uschi Glas calls the discovery a deep shock yet says it was necessary to acknowledge publicly rather than hide.
- The findings feature in "Du bist unwiderstehlich, Wahrheit," a conversation-based book with Charlotte Knobloch developed through weekly meetings in Munich since spring 2025 and set for publication on November 12 by Mosaik.
- Knobloch praises Glas's openness, and both frame the project as part of their effort to counter rising antisemitism since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which has also driven Glas's regular street activism.
