Not all Germans supported Nazis

I am sorry for Mr. Coppel's loss at the Holocaust.

I am born in Germany and our family believed strongly in the old Kaiser times. Those times were gone forever when an Austrian nobody went to power in Germany.

But I do not agree that all Germans were Nazis, even though some believed the Nazi regime meant well.

You forget that the Gestapo watched closely every German. You forget to say that not only Jewish and gypsies went to camps.

Who was openly against the regime, the Gestapo did care less if they were Catholics or Lutheran, etc.

Even a few generals lined up in the camps who were from the Kaiser time.

Find a book that tells you about the German generals. The truth is, only strong believers in the party were watchdogs at the camps and it is the truth.

No ordinary German did not know what was going on in the camps. And those who started to get close to a camp, got shot. That I know for a fact.

When my mom was in jail for political reasons, a nun was in her room with her.

The priest and the nun had heard rumors that there is no food in the camps for all to feed. They got caught coming up to the fence and both got shot in jail without a trail.
