My uniformed perspective is that, generally, they never did. The reason is that the structure of thinking that allows someone to tolerate/vote for, someone like Hilter/Nazis, is a type of thinking that relies on blaming others, and proactive lying.
They likely found ways, no matter how far fetched they seem now, to deflect responsibility, reduce severity, and create a narrative that made them closer to the victims vs war criminals.
The biggest war crimes (in magnitude) in history were done on German citizens in world war 2. Entire cities were bombed and wiped out.
Crimea river Fritz.
Goering did his best to level London but the paper tiger Luftwaffe just wasn't up to it. Then the ubermensch got distracted by having to execute and gas millions in Poland, Ukraine, the Baltics etc.. to make "Lebensraum", while plundering the occupied lands of every last crumb before reducing it to scorched earth on the long retreat.
What Japan did to China was the top as far as mass barbarism though, setting the tone for Mao a few years later.
We fought for the right side only because the wrong side forced us to.
The generation of Germans who were Nazis never really got over losing the war. They were followers of a cult. In that they are like the Republican cult of today, who similarly can't accept losing.

Same question to the Israelis / UK and US, during the current genocide.
The common answer is - despite relentless media propaganda, in their heart of hearts they know they're in the wrong .. but they can't/don't want to stick their neck out.
Recently, we had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Joachim Hess, who fought on the German side during World War II. He shared his unique perspective, outlini...
Germans have never come to that realization. The majority of them still believe everything Germany did was moral and justified. They just think the Allies had more military resources at the time, so it was some miscalculations that led to the losses in the two World War they started. But they are resolute in their beliefs.
Obviously you would have to make a comment as stupid as you. I am not American, I would not have aligned with the ones in Charlottesville, I know a lot more about the thread's subject than you do.
The thread's subject, you, know? Nothing to do with America or Republicans.

I don't think that is correct. There was a generational change in attitude in the post-war generation in the 1970's, when they started to openly examine their war time history and accept responsibility for what they had done.
