From People.com:

In his upcoming memoir, I’ll Be Damned, Eric Braeden delves into his traumatic beginnings that eventually led to his starring role as Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless. The biggest surprise? His father was a member of the Nazi Party.

Braeden was born in 1941, in Kiel, Germany and writes that the day after his mother left the hospital, it was destroyed by bombs.

“I knew my father, who was the mayor of our town, was an honest, decent man and there was never a hint of anti-Semitism in our home. Like most German professionals and government officials of the time, he joined the Nazi Party,” said Braeden in an interview with TV Insider. “It was what one did. But he was not a part of the atrocities. In fact, I found out my eldest brother was approached by the Hitler Youth and my father forbade him to join. So I have come to peace with all that.”

Eric Braeden later formed a German-American Cultural Society and continues to work on bettering the portrayal of Germans in the media. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the same strong will as Victor Newman in Y&R.
