I'm not so sure Erwin bought into that crap. Struck me as being sorta 
out of the Junkers class, many of whom served the interests of their 
country, while despising Hitler and his political philosophies. Many 
were involved in the July 1944 plot along with Stauffenberg, and paid 
dearly.

But he did cut quite a figure.
