> but out in the public, by regular units, on the streets and roads of cities and villages all across Europe. Interesting, I just posted a family story illustrating one of these crimes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38460975 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38460975 I couldn't believe in the "clean Wehrmacht" myth even if I wanted to. I'm still not convinced all the Wehrmacht soldiers were inherently bad people or monsters. I'm not defending them - what they did across Europe, what led to millions of graves, was wrong. What I'm cautious about, though, is the hatred and emotional judgment that leads to more, not less, bloodshed. The lack of a catacomb is good. The absence of any punishment for people outside those 7k convicted, however, is not.
