Especially those who were drafted, or who joined the military before 1933, right?

So I assume that if this were to happen to American soldiers, you'd have no problem with it? Serves em' right, I suppose?

Germans knew exactly what was going on in Germany. Fighting for Germany in WW2 was fighting for Hitler, and everything that meant. they knew this.

Exactly, because access to unbiased sources of information is easy and unfettered in totalitarian states, and the price of dissent is minimal.
So EVERYONE in Germany knew exactly what was going on all the time. ANYONE who wasn't willing to risk his family and friends being arrested after he opposed the regime bears full responsibility.
If the Germans knew everything their government was doing, then I guess the Soviets knew everything their government was doing too, right? So I guess any man to wear the Soviet uniform was culpable for the USSR's crimes, especially the ones who died by the millions to win the war?
If only everyone had your moral clarity. Life would be so simple.
