What was the illegal act committed by Jünger?

  • Robbery

  • Spying

  • Traitor

Answer

Jünger's participation in the French Foreign Legion was an illegal act because he was a German citizen at the time. By serving in a foreign military without permission from the German government, he violated the German Reich Citizenship Act of 1913, which prohibited German citizens from serving in foreign militaries without government approval.
