| #1 for decades, the Wehrmacht veterans have claimed that they were the "clean Germans" in contrast with the SS. As is clear from these discussions the last few days, the military were just as dirty as the SS. It is notable that all the extermination activities in these camps took place without any participation by the SS. In addition this did not include any "special minorities". Instead they killed Russian civilians and POWs protected by the Geneva Convention. |
