<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1522435, member: 37498&quot;]I find these types of responses odd.</p><p><br /></p><p>You mention that your wife&#039;s grandfather was in the German army during WWII and went to great lengths to not become a Nazi.&nbsp; To me, that suggests that he <i>did</i> have an inkling of what the Nazis were up to and didn&#039;t want any part of it.&nbsp; Why would you be offended that someone said such a thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>...and just for the record, my wife&#039;s grandfather was also in the Germany army during WWII and is still MIA.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you and carl1949 just don&#039;t quite understand what the word &quot;inkling&quot; means:</p><p><br /></p><p>inkling: &quot;a slight understanding or vague idea or notion&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It is often confused with inclination: &quot;a disposition or bent, especially of the mind or will; a liking or preference&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>When cesariojpn said &quot;So Gramps had inklings of the Nazi&#039;s eh?&quot;, he wasn&#039;t saying Gramps had a liking or preference for the Nazis, but rather that he knew what was going on.&nbsp; Just because you have a distant relative by marriage that was involved in WWII, do not jump to conclusions and assume that whenever someone uses the word Nazi, that they are &quot;slinging slurs&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
