Some nice quotes to keep you occupied:

Mormon authors Alan F. Keele and Douglas F. Tobler

“The Führer’s New Clothes

***Hitler enjoyed at least as much popularity among German Mormons as he did among the population in general. Church members even saw Hitler as God’s instrument, preparing the world for the millennium.

***Thousands of Mormon families sent their sons to fight for the Reich. The vital importance of “Aryan” ancestry gave new significance to genealogical research. And the Führer himself, the non-smoking, non-drinking vegetarian who yielded to no one in his desire for absolute law and order, seemed to embody many of the most basic LDS virtues.

***An article written for a special issue of the Nazi Party organ Der Volkische Beobachter by the LDS Mission President to West Germany, Alfred C. Rees, “abounds in such loaded terms as Volk and Rasse (race), and a picture of Brigham Young bears the caption,’Führer der historischen Mormonenpioniere.’ Very disturbing is the way President Rees blatantly parallels Mormonism with Nazism…Mormonism sounds like a fulfillment of Nazi teachings

In other words, they were typical Germans, a few thousand Germans no better or worse than millions of other Germans ...

You should also point out that some Mormon literature referring to Jews as the "chosen people" was banned and some Mormon youths resisted and were imprisoned or executed. Source
