Germany is a really interesting example. When I'm trying to decide if I'm overreacting about what's happening now, I often tell myself a lot of Germans probably said the same thing in the 1930s. I've never assumed all Germans were Nazis, and always knew there was a large number, if not majority, who were victims of their own government. However, I remember my mother (born just after WWII and my grandpa fought in the Pacific) saying she grew up with a negative opinion of Germany.
