Considering that, of the 90,000 who surrendered at Stalingrad, only 5,000 came back (over 90%) opting for the Kreigmarine's U-boat arm with only a 75ish % mortality rate, better food, and not freezing while addicted to Pervitin would entice any sensible young Nazi. Strangely, the primary weapon of WWII was STARVATION; the German U-boats waging the longest tonnage Battle of the Atlantic to starve England, and the British likewise; blockading the Festung Europa...with greater success, as the American forces, incl. submarines proceded to do likewise in the Pacific, isolating island garrisons without supplies enroute to Tokyo and glorious victory. Essentially castle seige warfare on a grand scale...nothin' good militarily goes outta style!
