From what I’ve read, many of Germany’s citizens backed the Nazi party before and during the war. Even if they weren’t part of the party, they seemed to agree with at least some of what the Nazis were trying to accomplish. Much of Germany’s younger population had grown up hearing Nazi rhetoric.

How did these people react to the fall of the Nazi party? Did they realize that what the Nazis were doing was wrong? Were they relieved Germany had lost the war? Or did many continue to believe Germany should have won the war?

I know this is kind of a complicated question as it’s hard to speak to every German citizen. I’m just looking for generalities.
