Here you can find some other versions, including the interesting original German text (banned version) and its English translation. Originally Lili Marlene is an anti-war song and despite the censorship and thanks to the bizarre history of the song it remained an anti-war song.

Rob. You are being really, really petty. Had you bothered to study, you would have also noted that "all youths" were 'required' to join. His older brother "signed him up" so he became a "hitler" youth.
The big difference is that he "Deserted" the nazi army on fear of his life. Read all about it. In history. really. It can't hurt more than your silly initial effort to promote communism by portraying your natural enemy (anyone of god) as duplicitous.
