Paul Moor, late of this list, had gone into the subject extensively and
found documentary evidence - membership records - that Karajan joined the
Nazi party not once, but twice!  Now, whether he actually believed in
Naziism or whether he joined as a cynical career move (it's hard to tell
which is worse) is still open to question.

I should add that Paul admired Herbie the K and was extremely careful about
accusing people of being Nazis.
