WW2 politics, and leading up to the War and beyond...

"We"? It's really irritating to see you use 'we' when you express opinions like this. Stick with 'I' please.

I agree.

I sense more Hitler apologetics here, "what about Stalin??" Presumably, Stalin was worse because when he starved people, he had iron-clad plans that never failed, and so he can't say that he was unprepared.

Do people not know what the Hitdawg had in store for Slavs? If things had gone his way, they were next after the Jews; he viewed Slavs as inferior (racially, of course), and was going to rid himself of them to make way for Lebensraum. It was detailed in Mein Kampf, and semi-enacted with the Bararossa Plan with regard to his genocidal strategies. Wiping Slavs out entirely to secure German dominance in Eastern Europe was his most likely course of action.

Stlain, Stalin, Stalin!! Dude. Stalin was an amateur compared to what Hitler was actually doing and going to do.

Markk, I am unsure how much to say of my father's experience. I do not think he would be comfortable with hero. He indured what had to be. Railsplitters yes, he was in the company that first attacked Lindern. Platoons made separate advances, the first making into the target. My father was in the second which did not. After getting shot up he was picked up by German soldiers, a matter perhaps more painful than the bullets. He has said that German doctor was professional and good. Of German guards he remembers their fear as they heard the approach of Russian artillery.
