Maybe they, I don't know, KNOW THEIR GRANDFATHERS? Sorry, but contrary to popular belief, the entire German population was not madly in love with the Nazis and with every little bit of Nazi ideology.

True! But the majority were pro-Nazi (pro-Nazi does not mean "madly in love." It often meant "hey, this regime is giving me some useful things."), and a great many of them told their kids they weren't Nazis, not really, they had no choice and all that.

But what do I know I've only graded many many papers and exams about Nazi Germany

It's the type of anecdotes you get told mostly that help you figure it out. And for my generation, it's really been a burning question to understand how on earth our grandparents were involved in this atrocity. My granddad was a socialist, but he built submarines so actively involved in the war effort. My grandma definitely had pro-nazi/keep your head down things are ok for us leanings, although I never did work out the exact boundary.

Last I checked even research historians are undecided just how wide popular support for the nazi party was, so I'm not sure how a paper or exam could be telling you much.

I should clarify: I was a graduate assistant helping with a class, but I had to do all the reading, attend lectures, and know it better than the undergrads.

Research historians are undecided about how wide popular support was, but most have come to the conclusion that popular support was wide, they just don't know how wide. Remember, the Nazis won a fair election. They built support after that.

But the anon chardmonster is/was arguing with didn't provide any anecdotes that prove their grandfathers wer anti-Nazis. I'll be honest, I'm with chard in this case.

Well, you just answered your own question there. Try to live it and then judge.
