I’m currently reading a book called “The forgotten Solider”, it’s a great book about a German soldiers first hand account of ww2. Its a roller coaster of emotions because it sometimes does make me sympathetic toward these “nazis” even though some would argue that they all deserve what they got (and a lot more). The author of the book was 17 at the time of his enlistment, and I am genuinely curious to know how many of these soldiers and civilians knew about the holocaust? There’s another story about a German Nazi stationed in Nanking, China during what was called “the rape of Nanking”(mass murder and rape of Chinese civilians by Japanese soldiers). He created a safe zone and actively put his life on the line to save civilians from this savagery. Some say he had no idea what was going on in Germany at the time, which makes sense because apparently he valued non white german lives, but begs the bigger question. Did everyone in Germany know what was going on?
