Did much of the german population know about the holocaust?

by Negative_beast

Recently i watched a video of german soldiers caught on both the eastern and western fromts being shown pictures and videos of the holocaust and going into tears and crying. Is it possible only the highest of command knew about the holocaust and of course the SS?

More can be said, but there's an excellent answer to a similar question by /u/commiespaceinvader: To what extent was the German population aware of the atrocities of the Holocaust? Hope that helps!
