Awkward sentence about nazi affiliation[edit]

"After World War II, he was interned for three years by the American military government in post-1945 Germany, but was soon released after evidence proved no affiliation with the Nazi Party" Held for 3 years is not "soon released". And being a founding member of the Nazi party with a gold badge is not "no affiliation with the Nazi Party". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:9500:3180:D801:7A96:FB93:C4BD (talk) 03:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
