There were righteous Germans who resisted the evil. We don't know every story. There were victims of every nation.

Ah, another galactically ignorant comment.
Did you bother to read any of the rest of my post?
Do you even know what a German Mennonite is? They are the slightly more modern cousin of the Amish sect as depicted in the movie "Witness" starring Harrison Ford (if you're not from Wisconsin, Ohio or Pennsylvania, you have likely never seen an Amish or Mennonite). They are pacifists and devoutly religious. They shun society and most modern conveniences.
As for my relatives, I don't know if any of my great uncles ever actually held a weapon or even fought. All that is known is that they were forced into the back of an army truck at gunpoint and told to either fight or be killed. And that shortly thereafter, they were dead.
Please explain again how my barely literate farmer family who shunned society, had no electricity, no radio and no newspapers were complicit in the rise and reign of Adolph Hitler.
Call me naive, but I think Neville Chamberlain bears just a little bit more repsonsibility for unleashing Hitler on the world.
