I can bring counter-arguments to your theory, no problemo, such as: please tell me then why german military was saluting as any military force on the globe, but the Waffen SS was saluting by rising the right arm straight at 45 degrees? Why there were recorded incidents between whermacht and SS officiers related to treatement of civilians? The only coup d'etat against Hitler that actualy almost succeded was started and helped by wehrmacht officiers. And so on.... Let's not allow ignorance to keep us away from real facts.
Wehrmacht was in the same time the tool and the victim of nazi regime.
You are right to some extent, but the Paulus's and Reichenau Sixth Army did commit attrocities when entering Stalingrad and the invasion of the Ukraine, it was total war by both countries, they also were involved in the killing so it's not as if only the SS were the criminals, only some divisions were anti-hitler, like the austrian division, can't recall the name, all taken from Antony Beevor's Stalingrad, and documentaries. Not making an apology of the other argument, just a constructive observation
. Damn, those is2's are a hard nut to crack. Enjoy.
