Those who did not commit the acts, supported them by being active members of the

attacking foreign nations, prolonging the war long enough for the atrocities to be
carried out and generally helping the Nazi cause.
EVERY active member of the German armed forces was guilty of that.
You can certainly have a soldier who wasn't a Nazi, but you could never have had
the Nazis with out all the soldiers.
Now that does not make them bad people one bit. It is how the vast majority of
any group of people would act in the same situation.
However, to say it bestows honor upon them?
It gives them no honor, no glory and made no heroes. |
Again, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.
You want to see black and white and throw them all in one pot? Whatever floats your boats.
I preferr see them individualy and make my judgement accordingly.
I guess, we can agree to disagree on this.
