Enh. Nobody prays for peace more than a soldier. I'd blame the corrupted leadership and society in germany before i blamed an individual. Sure, there were many examples of warcrimes, but the average german soldier? a 15 year old forced into the war in '45? Those poor bastards in the 6th army who froze or starved to death in russia? Nobody cares about the bastards who committed warcrimes, but then again who cares about the american soldiers who tortures the iraqis. Those arent your 'average' soldiers. They are the outstanding pathetic pricks.
And im sure you werent comparing canadian soldiers to a deathcamp operator. Im sure you were comparing them to the average poor bastard in the german 6th freezing and bleeding to death in a trench outside stalingrad, because he was ordered to be there. I respect that man. No matter his uniform.
