Richie. You are having what is called an epiphany. Yes! People are that gullible. We need them types because if they didn't exist who would buy everything you sold them? No one would be making money. Someone has to buy it. How else are you going to afford that yacht hmmm???

I recall viewing some WW2 films where Eisenhower made German people living in proximity of concentration camps to walk through those camps for posterity. Yes, I think it was viable because he knew those atrocities would be swept under the table with time.

People should not blame German people in total. I don't, Hitler took away their guns and all ability of the people to organize and resist. The German people became pawns to do his will. Hitler had Brown Shirts, Gestapo, and SS. Some of the smartest and brightest murders ever to grace this earth to do Hitler's will. What person or groups of persons in their right mind could build an insurgency against such pervasive forces. There was no way they could build any resistance suffcient to overthrow the Nazis.

All three of the Hitler police forces could kill anyone (including Germans) on the spot with no trial or recourse for murder.

The Germans had more than enough guns to stop Hitler. There were millions of Germans in the military with enough guns to fight all the way to Moscow. They could have stopped Hitler any time they wanted to. Very few tried.

Can you prove that?

Prove what? That there were millions of Germans armed to the teeth in the German military? That seems to be pretty self evident.

That very few tried to stop Hitler? Unless there was a giant conspiracy that has been kept secret since WW2, this is also self evident.

Maybe that would have been better phrased "Not all Germans (or Axis forces) were evil".

I don't like the idea of painting the Nazis as 'well, some were okay'. That's all some people need to justify themselves. I'm pretty sure no one is identifying themselves as one of the 'good' nazis.

Yeah, good luck to anyone making a movie showing the "good" Nazis.
