snip-"According to an immigration record the Post reviewed, Meyerhofer’s father, Heinrich Meyerhofer, immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1954, identifying as Roman Catholic. Several of Luna’s family members stated that he served in Nazi Germany’s armed forces as a teenager in the 1940s.

One of Heinrich’s sons provided the Post with a portrait of a young Heinrich dressed in a uniform of the Wehrmacht that experts from the Simon Wiesenthal Center said is consistent with the uniform style at the time.

Luna’s cousin Nicole Mayerhofer and other family members said it was well known that Heinrich served in the German army during the Second World War."
