@CoaZ " Do you have a source for this, because it makes no sense. Besides the fact I don't know a single historian who would agree with that statement, it's also flat out idiotic." - To be honest I probably should've never said most Wehrmacht were Nazis. I think I came to that conclusion because of their devotion to Germany during that time. I know it sounds like a stupid way to think, because it kinda is, just because they supported Germany during that time wouldn't straight out mean they were Nazis, which I think that's what Sam was trying to tell me.

" And no, the vast majority of Germans didn't belong to the Nazi party; it was the largest political party in Germany at the time, but it didn't have the support of the vast majority of the population. A brief search says they only had around 7% of the popular support at  their peak. You have to remember that there were more than 2 parties in Germany at the time, you didn't need to have the support of over half the population to win the majority." - The same thing about the Wehrmacht can be applied to that argument as well.

" Just so you know, people don't join the military because they strongly believe in the government's policies; this is true with modern America and even more true with a military force that conscripted basically every able bodied man to go fight (especially true towards the end of the war, where if you could shoot, you'd be drafted into the Germany army)." - There are a lot of reasons why someone would choose to join the military, and them strongly believing in their government's policies is one of them, even if it's a minority train of thought.
