My mom's friend's dad was an SS officer in WWII, he died just last year. I'm pretty sure he was coerced into it though I don't think he actually hated Jews. My great grandfather was an officer in a POW work camp/jail here in the U.S. they had the prisoners working dawn to dusk on nothing but a roll and some water every day. Many of them had joined the German army for love of their country and were horrified once they saw what was really going on. My GG didn't think it was humane to force people to work so much with so little food, so everyday he took tomatoes, cheese, and bologna from the store he and his wife owned at the time and gave these items to the prisoners to make into sandwiches with their rolls. He could have been arrested for this if caught. After the prisoners went home to Germany they got together to make him a thank you card using lovely German calligraphy and sent it to him on his birthday. That card is still in my family.

Most Germans didn't actually hate Jews, or agree with what was happening. But that kinda makes the whole thing worse in my opinion. I mean its one thing for a deranged lunatic to get a bunch of followers that actually believe in his crazy cause, but its something else entirely for most of the population to actually know what they are doing is wrong and yet go along with it anyway. There are lots of explanations for why the people ended up doing it, but the fact remains that they did let it happen.

the guess is doing the normal grandstanding but the fact is if they didn't obey there family was killed or sent to a concentration camp

You're completely right. It wasn't like it is now, when "pain and suffering" is a good reason for someone to owe you money. If these guys argued or stood up for what they thought was right, they were killed - no questions asked - regardless of whether or not it was the right thing to do

My great grand-uncle fought for the Nazis, he was Russian and fled the country for fear of persecution, he joined the Germans out of hatred for Stalin
