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?

Barring 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.
