Dear VtwinVince,
Actually being a member of the "party" did mean you were a "Nazi" which is the idiomatic term for a member of the NSDAP. And to join it for personal gain was what many people did and in doing so, ipso facto, supported its actions and power base. If I don't agree with the goals and actions of a political party, religion, industrial company, etc.and I join it for influence or financial gain, then I believe to have compromised my integrity.

On another note, IIRC, the German Catholic political party was one of the strongest Anti-NSDAP paties in Germany. It was disbanded, I believe, by an agreement between Germany and the Vatican.

Best regards,

Artie Bob
