Yes, every Waffen SS soldier was brainwashed to fight for his country. That makes about as much sense as saying every American was brainwashed for doing the same thing.

Wolf, here's the way I see it.
"Ok, lets join the Waffen SS to fight Communism, and while we're at it, we'll take over all of Europe, dispose of "unpure" ethinic groups and lie to our own people about what we are fighting for."
Maybe brainwashed is to vague of a word to use, but you have to admit that they were lied to about what that were fighting for. Given false hope and empty dreams all because of one man's paranoia. I mean do you really think they were doing the right thing?
