It’s a very “we don’t talk about it” situation. My great grandma’s family were very against the Nazis, moving to Switzerland in the 1930s after they took power. She refused to go with them because she wanted to be with her partner, who was extremely ingrained with the system. From their departure to Switzerland and the end of the war, they were no contact. When the war started the man moved his family and my great grandma to his estate around Konstanz, where they lived an isolated life with everything they needed; the area was also essentially unscathed. So no bombings to survive. From what my other relatives told me, she didn’t support what was happening, but her partner came before her morals.

She was pretty insulated during WW2. Her family relocated to Switzerland after the Nazis took power as they didn’t support them; she chose to stay in Germany due to her partner. Her partner moved her and his family to his estate on the German side of Lake Constance, area which was virtually unscathed during the war. Was no contact with her family during this period. Talking about the man, his activities and that part of her life is a pretty “we don’t talk about Bruno” situation.
