There’s probably some truth that many normal soldiers fighting for nazi germany were not aware of the full extent of the horrors at the time. I suspect many just ignored the evidence and believed they were in a traditional war like 1914, or colonial wars of the late 19th century. Certainly when Germans were shown the concentration camps after the war they wouldn’t believe the evidence in front of them. They didn’t want to think about it during the war either. Theres no excuse now of course. It’s sickening that with the increased support of the far right across the west being so apparent today, that it’s the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz today.
