Of course they are good men. They were humans, who unfortunately got played like chess pieces.
I remember watching a South Korean movie called "71 Into the Fire" about 71 studets sent to protect one of the entrances of the country from North Korea.
When the leader killed a North Korean soldier, that was as young as him, he wrote to his mother something along this lines "He was calling for his mother. I was told they were bull-headed men. He was calling for his mother..."
We always think of the enemy as some sort of cartoon villian. But they are people.
And do remember, that charm and power can make good people do horrible things. With of course a dash of brainwashing.
And these soldiers look so damn happy!
Just because they can fool around like this doesn't mean they didn't support Hitler's cause.

People on the edge of the abyss will do anything possible to get away from the edge. Germany was a place much like others in the depression. No jobs, political and social unrest, racism, and Etc. Hitler (whether he actually saw Jews as a threat) gave his people a scape goat. He gave them something to blame for everything wrong with their society. By doing so he gave his people a common enemy. One with which the people stood up against. Hitler sparked a nationalist and culturalist movement by doing so. He quickly rose Germany to be the most powerful nation in the world (at that time) which gave his people hope. It made them follow him because he basically saved the country. They supported what the propaganda created to be a monster. Germans people believed Jews were to blame and once they were seperated and things became better they absolutely believed what Hitler was saying.

I don't intend to sound intollerant or racist in any way. This is meant to inform users of the mind set of the German people at the time. This doesn't portray my beliefs.
