hmm... what does this means for us, playing war...
The Germans had very little choice about being a soldier or not. Only some special boys didn't have to go, like a farmers firstborn. The only choice was, what your uniform would be and sometimes this choice wasn't even given.
It's stated that the SS was a all-volunteers institution. Well, most volunteered and some were volunteered (1/4... if that's "some").
Even the "Freikorps Dönitz" wasn't a all-volunteers show in the end.
I am a German too and such remarks like "You had your Adolf and this means you're always responsible" make my stomach churn. After the signing of the Versailles Treaty even Clemencau (for not-historical people the by-then French Prime Minister) acknowledged that another war was inevitable. Hitler could only rouse the people enough for breaking hell loose again. If it wouldn't have been Hitler another one would have arisen in time to release the fury.
So please cut this crap!

We can't forget that without war, you can't have peace. Without somethings negative, it won't happen.
IMO, there will always be war as long as people are different from one another.
And we can't blame the Germans for WW2, blame the assassin in 1914.
Without him, both wars wouldn't have happened. But out of the wars, we got radar and microwaves. I'm german also, and it really annoys me when they blame the germans for everything. 10% german, 50% macedonian, and an assortment of others
