Slightly off-topic, but I came across it recently and it's in my head. Just in terms of not only Germans during the war who weren't pure evil, but in terms of an actual Nazi who seemed to be a pretty good guy. I was idly looking up Chiune Sugihara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiune_Sugihara) and was linked onto John Rabe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rabe), who was the Nazi representative in Nanking when the Japanese invaded, and who was one of the main people who set up the Nanking Safety Zone. I think I need to find more reliable sources, because there are several 'citation needed' sections, but there's one thing that stuck out:

"Rabe showed films and photographs of Japanese atrocities in lecture presentations in Berlin and wrote to Hitler to use his influence to persuade the Japanese to stop any further inhumane violence. As a result, Rabe was detained and interrogated by the Gestapo and his letter was never delivered to Hitler."

... If that's true, I think it may be possibly one of the most bizarrely tragic things I've ever read. This is a man who used his Nazi party membership to try and shield thousands of Chinese civilians, apparently trying to write to Hitler to stop atrocities among his allies. And, okay, this was still the late '30s, and he'd been in China, but it just ... makes you wonder. How much anyone actually knows about what's going on around them until it's too late.

Rabe was interesting case. He really wasn't in touch with what was happening in Nazi Germany with the Jewish population. I can imagine him going home and just be aghast at what was going on. There he was, risking his neck to save people dubbed inferior by a psychopath army only to go home and see the same thing happening there.

I know. Just ... how massive a disconnect must that be? To use legitimate Nazi credentials to shield thousands of Chinese civilians out of a moral belief that you shouldn't betray people who trust you, and then go home and earnestly try to write Hitler a letter protesting atrocities and be promptly arrested for it. He couldn't have known. To even try that, he couldn't have known. How the hell do you reconcile something like that?

Soviet citizens in the 1920s and 1930s used to believe Stalin didn't know about the mass purges.

In fairness, Russia is big, so that's not a stupid error to make.

How much anyone actually knows about what's going on around them until it's too late.

This so much.

In this day and age we have so many means of communicating and still then a lot of what's happening we're simply not aware of, for various reasons. When you translate that to 70-80 years ago, it's not that farfetched to say that a lot of ordinary German people were not aware of the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
