BTW, almost all german veterans that I heve had the honour to speak with (that's a lot) have stated that their reason for joining the Heer(army), Kriegsmarine(Navy), Luftwaffe(airforce), or Waffen-SS(basicly the Marines, NOT the guys who ran the camps, that was the Totenkopf-verbande and the SD) was becuase their fathers had in WWI, the only thing that they had read about or heard was of how great and romantic it was to be in the military. They didn't sign up because they wanted to kill innocent people.
