They... A lot of them got drafted or volunteered to be a part of the larger German army? A lot of them didn't know about the heinous acts of the SS? What they knew about were propagandized about mostly moving the jewish population out of the country? Poles being liberated, same as we hear about "liberation" or bringing democracy these days? Most of them not even knowing about any extermination camps or such?
A lot of drafted/volunteered youth thinking it is about "the prosperity of the fatherland" got killed in the war? While I'm a proponent of not lauding the death of soldiers, I live in the real word where bullets can't be stopped by kind words, hugs, kisses or butterflies. So they kinda got what was needed to be done, maybe not what they deserved as their intentions weren't the ones of Nazis directly.
Rest of the civilian population? They suffered the consequences of bringing such an extreme nationalist party to power by their own votes and support, not by tyrannical power grab. And from what I see, Germans citizens are doing pretty well currently, after their fascist state has been torn apart and they got to see the outside of their propaganda bubble.
Kindly tell me which part of this sounds worse than the genocide that has been perpetuated in Palestine all these decades?
