Thanks for the quiz. I think that not everybody on this list was a member of the Nazi Party, if that matters to you.

I’m fairly certain that all of them were either members of the Nazi Party or the Nazi German military, or both. If you meant just the party, then yes, some of them were technically only members of the Nazi Party. If not, who did you have in mind?
