    Obviously no one wants to take the so-called 'extreme' position that all members of any group are evil or unjust, but that gets widened to "no, they were largely conscripted", then to "well, they just loved their country", and then to "they didn't really participate in that whole Nazi project anyway", and then to the reality of "Now they control West Germany and are protected by the CIA".
