It's true though, the normal people not involved with Hitler and his party were unaware of his agenda until it was too late.
My Godfather (born 1931) was in the Hitler Youth as well. As were all of his friends at the time. Important to bear that in mind when people are damned for having been in that movement. They were kids. It wasn't their choice. It's remarkable how much some people can come through and still emerge as good people.
