Adaher - the book you read - was it "The Black March" by Peter Neumann? I have that book, he was supposedly a hard-core believer, Nazi Youth inducted into the SS and fought on the Russian Front, back to Austria and was captured by the Russians and forced to perform labor cleaning up Warsaw post-war. Unfortunately this book was long ago revealed to be a fake - the name is a pseudonym and the author never served in the Wehrmacht or SS.
