		Junker was a paramilitary Nazi rank that was used by the Schutzstaffel (SS) between the years of 1933 and 1945.

		The insignia for these ranks was identical to the ranks of the SS non-commissioned officer corps and promotion between the Junker ranks was dependent upon passing a variety of written, physical, and field exercise examinations while a student at the Junkerschule.

		Ted Junker, 87, has spent $200,000 on turning part of his farm into a shrine to a man he feels is misunderstood and misrepresented.
		But Junker's initial plan to open his shrine to the public on June 25 would mean spreading a cock-eyed view of history that should stay private.
		Granted, the local zoning and planning committees weren't likely to grant permits for his shrine, and local law enforcement also has to be breathing a sigh of relief that they won't have a wacko magnet in their backyard to police.
