Hello r/AskHistorians! You are really a wonderful resource as a sub, found many answers to my random questions just by searching, even though Reddit search is an odd tool. Thank you all for the in depth and well versed answers. Kudos to the mod team for keeping all discussion civil and academic.
I was wondering, are there any recorded instances of PTSD and other combat traumas in the Wehrmacht and the SS men involved in daily executions, like the Einsatzgruppen, camp guards, units involved in anti-partisan roles on the Eastern front and Yugoslavia, or the average G.I. that shot war prisoners on his immediate superior's orders. How were these conditions handled in the military bureaucracy of Nazi Germany? Can safely assume it was handled differently at the start of the war, or in the beginning of the Eastern invasion, then in was in late 1944/5.
Found a similar question asked 8 years ago, where some of you gave pretty good insights on the matter. Supposed it will be fruitful to ask this question again, maybe more resources have become available online or there are some new people on this subreddit that will give their more insight on it. I will be also grateful if you can recommend some in-depth books on this topic.
Thank you all, and keep up the good work.
