Well most people with an average IQ knows that not all germans were nazis, on the contrary they were the minority. Germany was the country that suffered most (and is still suffering) from that guy from Austria and his jolly fellowship.
And you're calling that good news?
No, not all were Nazis, but I'm sure there were non-Nazis who loved their children blowing up those Warsaw blocks too. If they had all been evil Nazis and nothing else, it would be much easier to put it aside as a collective madness.
There was TV sequel recently aired on German TV called "Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter" (Our Mothers, Our Fathers) and it is the story of five German twens, none of them evil or a Nazi, they are friends, but as the war progresses everyone of them - the jew who escapes a concentration camp and joins Polish resistance excepted -becomes guilty:
- The chivalrous role model officer shots a Russian prisoner (a Kommissar), not willingly, but he does it when ordered with a heavy heart (he later on deserts and ends up court-martialed and demoted in a penalty battalion).
- His brother, the unsoldierly pacificist turns into an impassive cynic and participates unflinchingly in reprisals against Russian and Polish peasants (he's the one who says at the beginning of the mini series "This war won't be over soon and it will bring out the worst in all of us."), in the end he commits suicide by charging a Russian position.
- The idealistic nurse rats on a Ukranian co-nurse with Jewish roots without really thinking about it, feeling guilty she ends up caring for Russian wounded once her hospital has been overrun while her other Ukranian co-nurses are shot by the Red Army as "collaborators".
- The other girl protects her jewish friend but at the price of becoming the mistress of a Nazi who also supports her career as a singer, she ends up as a troop entertainer until she makes some defeatist remarks and is imprisoned by the Gestapo and eventually shot a few weeks before the war ends ("You didn't think we would forget you, did you?").
- And the Jewish guy survives it all, marvelling how a world of civilisation disintegrates before his eyes and losing all faith in man.
The mini series spurred some good discussion in Germany - it was different from anything else before it in its portrayal of inherently decent people doing the vilest things (and not enjoying themselves while doing them) where before a lot of Third Reich movies had been black and white - evil Nazis and good non-Nazis.
