The Germans in both wars were barbaric, to the allies. In WW2, they
were
animals, and it didn't take too much allied propaganda to set the
scene.

You get your History from Hollywood Smollywood. Unfortunately it's
just crap.

Here is where you tell us that KZ was actually just a modest RAD project, hyped
by the Allies. Bernd, you have a lot of good info to share, but standing
beside the Nazis and telling us how humane they were just ain't going to work.
90% of the German military WERE just professional soldiers, airmen, and
sailors, doing their duty to volk und vaterland. Very few of this group were
out violating their Article 98 oath. Unfortunately, the remaining few percent
of the Wehrmacht (a few Heer, some KM, small percent LW, damn near ALL W-SS)
actively participated in genocide, scorched earth, strafing refugees, MG
lifeboats and all the other things that were _not_ invented in Hollywood.

You started sounding like a well read authority on this thread and are slowly
moving toward a defiant "we were the victims" stance. Wrong audience, sir.

Germany's leadership took its people directly into harm's way and if its cities
and population were being immolated, Hitler always had the option of halting
the carnage by surrendering and taking his punishment for sponsoring murder in
his own country and all over the European continent.
