How were they "mislead."  Some may not have known about atrocities,
but they still knew about the nationalist goals of te Nazi gov't.

One is not noble for giving one's life for an immoral cause even
if one wholeheartedly believes that it is right.  Nor, in such a case,
is one a "victim," since one made the decision him/herself.
