<HTML>I doubt that he was court martialed on the basis of Nazi beliefs. I\'m sure it
was handled in strict accordance with military/navy regulations.
I read somewhere that the navy actually kept their court records sealed so that the Gestapo and/or SS would not have access to them. This lasted apparently until late into the war. This could explain why Franzke lasted until being KIAed.
