History always ties the Germany army to it being a Nazi army when in fact the majority of them weren’t but it always was called the Nazi army when it’s mentioned. It’s always the Nazi army did this and that.
My Uncle knew the difference. Just like he knew he Germans were not all Nazis.
Himmler maintained his massive police apparatus, with battalions of Ordnung Polizie and einsatzgruppen in part because the Nazi hierarchy determined quite early on that the military could be trusted to carry out the Holocaust.
