Hollywood played a huge role in having us stereotype the German soldier as jack-booted cold-blooded killers, when most were not members of the Nazi Party, but were obligated to defend the Fatherland. Many had family in the U.S. and had no ill feelings against Americans or the British. Some risked their lives trying to turn the people of Germany against Hitler. Like the German soldiers that were part of the White Rose.
