Yes you are right Theshark888!
There is no way to judge as no one has the full picture, only fragments.
I only have a bit of a bad feeling when hearing stories of civilians that got into some really bad situations without a chance to defend themselves. One of my grandmothers, even decades after the war would when a thunderstorm came up, darken her whole place, as she felt the thunder reminded her very much of nightly bombing raids she remembered very well.
I only got to hear a few stories as I only got to know my grandfather for half a year, and then he told very little as my grandmother was against him telling war stories. More detailed stuff I found out a lot later when I contacted the WAST office which kept all the surviving records of former Wehrmachts personel.
From my other grandfather I have only a few pictures and some small stories thats all. All the rest is from my parents who where kids during the war.
