I remember seeing his biography in a bookstore in China. Too bad I can't read Chinese, it definitely would've something interesting to read.
Don't laugh a German Vietnamese Skinhead Nazi once wanted to beat me up because I didn't know any right wing German bands.I was so shocked I laughed and asked if he'd seen the Australian movie Romper Stomper which got me off the hook with his mates.I was working in Spain in my backpacking days at the time.
My wife and I used to known an old Sileasian (Spelling) German lady whose brother and father were both in the Wehrmacht. According to her the Wehrmacht guys were either banned or discouraged from becoming members of the Nazi party. She stated father was an artillery officer who was involved in handing/control of arty at Stalingrad. Her brother, who we met, was in north africa with the arty and he was apparently one of the group of german troops who handed themselves over to the yanks rather than the russians in the last days of the war.
I wish they were still alive it was years ago when she told me about her families experiences and I can only remember bits of it. Even in the 1990s she and her brother still were vehemently against the nazis and what they did during the war. Mind you like many people of that era they saw a lot of bad things and did what they had to do to survive.
But besides all that If I remember correctly the Chinese obtained a lot of equipment including armoured vehicles and uniforms from the germans as well as having a strong military exchange program.
No he is not necessarily a Nazi (Although he could have been who knows? Being Asian doesn't mean you can't be a NAZI it is a common misperception, imho, that only white men can be NAZIs. If you're from one ethnicity and want to exterminate others not belonging to yours...well?) .
Until 1941 China and Germany cooperated militarily. Many KMT soldiers were equipped like Wehrmacht.
Wiki article on Sino-german cooperation:

Chinese govt. back in the 30's had good relations with Germany, and even if Hitler and the nazis were not running things the Chinese would still have gotten German military assistance.
Awesome!!! Thx

Well the guy on the bottom right seems to be Wehrmacht considering the Wehrmacht eagle on his right breast. I don't know about the 3 others, their patch seems a bit different. Same goes with the collars...

Ah I didn't look thoroughly. Could very well be asian volunteers or members of the Wlassow army or sth. like that (600th Infantery Division).
