For all his evilness, Hitler was a proud veteran of the first World War who had won two Iron Crosses!. He was very sentimental about disabled veterans!. In fact, he declared as "honorary Aryans" several German disabled veterans who happened to have been Jewish!.

However, his sentimentaliy did not extend to congenitally disabled people, who were treated like so much refuse, many of whom were excluded from society, and even killed!. (His Propaganda Minister, Dr!. Joseph Goebbels,who had a heavy limp due to either a clubfoot or polio or both, was excluded from this classification!. Every rule in Nazi Germany was bendable or breakable , depending on what Hitler wanted!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, such veterens were generally treated with honor!. From a Nazi viewpoint, after all, such men were Aryans of proven worth, and even handicapped, able to father Aryan children!. also, with the manpower shortages of WW 2, such men could be put in posts behind the lines to free up able bodied men for the front!. Hitler's antipathy towards "cripples and disabled" usually focused on those born with congenital conditions!. He and the nazi psuedoscientists feared such people might breed and pollute the Ayran gene pool, breeding more like themselves as well ad bringing down the quality of the gene pool!. (Note that genes were not yet discvoered at this time; I use the term because we use it today and it fits what the Nazis believed)Www@QuestionHome@Com
