It’s unclear how many members of the German military knew what was happening in the Nazi concentration camps, but many of the men who were captured by Allied forces claimed that they had no knowledge of what was going on in places like Auschwitz.
When confronted with the truth about what their country was doing to the Jewish people (as well as travelers, people of color, and homosexuals) many of them couldn’t fathom the depths of evil they’d spent their careers serving.
German POWs were made to watch films of the concentration camps, forever scarring them with the knowledge that they were a cog in a truly disgusting machine.
