My German teacher's grandpa fought for the N@zis
So, a teacher of mine who used to teach me German in High School once told us about her grandpa, who fought for the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]s. She said how he was "forced to go and fight", and how he died at the hands of the Soviets.
I can't help but think to myself, what is the likelihood that this is just historical revisionism? Something tells me her grandpa fought willingly.
On a similar topic, do Germans feel guilty about the Holocaust?

The [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] would often try to recruit children into the war, but they would need written consent from the parents. If the parents refused to allow their children into the war, the father would be drafted. If the father refused to join the war, he'd been sent to the camps If the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] wanted a soldier, they'd get the soldier

1 ReplyWhy would it matter anyways? Or is it just curiosity?

3 RepliesITT: everyone forgets that Hitler won a landslide majority and enjoyed widespread support across the country. The Nazi party did indeed re-institute the draft, but more than a few of those soldiers probably would have signed up of their own volition either way.

Germany had a strong national pride. Just because you were in the German Army didn't mean you were a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]. There were a lot of people who fought for their country and each other, bit not for Hitler nor the regime.

Just because they fought for [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] Germany didn't make them [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url], infact most of the Luftwaffe pilots you will find hated the regime but they fought for their country.

2 RepliesWell, a lot of people in Germany, specifically the working class adults, hated the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] party, but were often powerless to do anything about them.

My great grandfather made [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] propaganda.

2 RepliesNot true. The same goes for my Grandfather. He fought for the Germans and did not do it willingly. *Sips Maple Syrup*

5 RepliesNot as bad as the revisionist history the French practice. Little known facts: When the Germans crossed the French Borders, the French already had their Jews in camps ready for deportation. Some were already on trains aimed east. More people claim to have been active members in the French Resistance than were in France during the occupation. While it was one of the largest, percentage wise, it held the least number of people per capita than just about any country. And it was no where near as effective as the Dutch.

1 ReplyBarring SS officers, I'm not particularly vindictive towards those that fought for the national socialist party. I mean, the choice was either die fighting, or you and your family face brutal state penalties. Blame those in power, not the ones treated like cannon fodder, IMO.
