Yes they were human.

And yet their cause was evil.

Fuck those guys.

Saying the Nazi cause was evil is an oversimplification made in hindsight.

The threat of bolshevism was a very real one to Europeans of the 1930s.

I am sure that if you grew up in post WWI Germany you would have been leading the resistance movement against Nazism. Oh thats right your ass would have been on the Ost front with the rest of your kameraden.

Oh, those fun loving Nazis! :-) I always knew Hogan's Heros was really a documentary. It would all be hilarious if not for about 40 million dead. We won't even talk about wounded, raped, destroyed property and the orphans.

I have studied the Nazi cause, and their motives. To me, they were equal to the Communists.

I have a searing hatred for them both.

Agreed.

America paid a high price to clean up their bullshit, and then deal with the Communists in the decades afterwards.

Yep, the Eastern Front is a fascinating study, but in the end it still is the worlds most genocidal regime vs the most murderous.

However I don't think every single German soldier believed in what he was fighting for.

Just like there are American soldiers who knew damn well they weren't fighting for our freedom in Iraq.

I'll get in on this. I don't believe all German soldiers were inherently evil either.

The ones who deserve to, yes. God alone knows whose soul was evil and who was only fighting to stay alive.

I'm Jewish. I had many family members murdered by the Nazis. I also had family members who were Warsaw Ghetto fighters and fought back against the Nazis. So actually, I would have been on the front lines fighting them. Nazis were evil. Their cause was evil. They aimed to conquer the world and either enslave or murder anyone who was not like them. This included anyone who did not look, think, act, worship, or have the same lineage as them. Kinda sounds like the enemy we are fighting today. There was nothing just about their cause. There was nothing right about their cause. They brought madness and senseless barbarism to the world that ended in the most costly conflict man has ever witnessed.

Were the Soviets just as bad? Sure. Should we have fought them after the war? That's a debate for the historians. The bottom line is this: there was nothing good brought to the world by Nazis. The first half of the 20th Century is a shame that will forever mar the German people. Yes; the German people, not just the Nazis. They knew what was happening. There is no argument against that. They knew what was happening and they allowed it. They allowed themselves to be taken over by madness. They are just as guilty.

Today's Germans are not the same people. I do not hold a grudge against them. But, the German's of my grandparent's generation... they brought the world's disdain upon themselves. They cannot and should not be forgiven.

Soldiers are soldiers.... They are alike no matter which flag they fly. They fight for each other whether you believe it or not. Nothing more, nothing less. The assholes are the idiots giving them orders.

I agree but a lot of SS guys were commited to the ideology of nazism totally and that extended to exterminating 'inferior' races often at gunpoint....
