@CoaZ "I'm confused by what you mean by this." - I mean't that not very many of the civilians living in Nazi Germany at that time were Nazis like the Wehrmacht. I'm actually suprised that I had just learned this little detail years after I had originally studied WWII. I think it's because the books I read never mentioned that little piece of detail, which caused me to come to the conclusion that most of the Wehrmacht, and the citizens of Nazi Germany were Nazis during that time, however I assume this is a common misconeption among a lot of people anyways. However I could have been aware of this piece of detail at one point, because I was just a kid when I studied this war, but I doubt it was due to minor memory loss.

"It's not just a minority train of though, it's a virtually nonexistent train of thought. Even amongst the typically more gung-ho and patriotic officers, very, very, very rarely does anyone join up because they support the nation's policies, and they certainly don't leave the service liking said policies. I mean, if I had a nickel for every time I heard a vet/active duty soldier say they joined up to fight for the Constitution, not the government... Granted this is from a modern and American perspective, so make of that what you will." - I wouldn't say it's non existent. I think why it's very hard to find someone like that is because the rarity is off the chart, and there are all types of people with different mind sets in this cluster fuck of a world. Just remember soldiers have opinions too.
