Pope former member of hitler youth.

Yes well initially I was shocked by the fact that everbodies new favourite pope was a member of the hitler youth, but that isn't the full story. In Germany at the time all people who turned 14 were required by law to join the hitler youth so it was unlikley that new popey just signed up out of his need to join the cause. Still it makes for an interesting story, if you want information on the new pope the wikipedia entry has plenty of useful facts and tidbits.
