No way could I see myself in a Nazi soldier's state of mind. Yes, they were almost all thoroughly brainwashed, plus, blindly followed Hitler, who was truly evil.
I am normally for the underdogs in society, so I am sure, if I, hypothetically speaking, were sent to Germany from the USA in 1941, I would not have made the Nazi standards.

Many rednecks would have done the same with African-Americans if allowed; like the Nazis were. There is no doubt in my mind. Neither race--Nazis and American rednecks wanted the competition--for whatever that reason was? Fear, maybe?
