There is a misconception of the Army of Germany of the great war of WWII. All of these soldiers were not "Nazi's" just as all of the members of the armed forces of the US are not Democrats nor Republicans. The Nazi Party, the NSDAP, (Nationional Socilaistiche Democratiche Arbiter Partei) or something like that, was a political party. The hard core party members are the one's that committed the atrocites of the war, not all of the soldiers were involved in this but apparently all of them get blamed for them. Every German soldier that carried a Luger did not necessarily use it to kill innocent civilians, but they are saddled with that belief. If you were a soldier and you were in a situation that may have required you to use a side arm to protect your life I think that you would do so, does this make you a 'nazi' I don't think so. War is a nasty business at best and things happen that many nations are not proud of, remember the Calley trial of Vietnam? A soldier gone awry, it happens in the heat of battle, if you haven't been there, done that, then it is very hard to understand what happens to the normal thought processes when the lead is flying. Don't commit all Lugers to the Nazi mentality, many of them were never fired in anger.
