Wrong. They were sworn to Germany, and nothing else.
The vast majority of them also joined so they didn’t starve to death. And in the second half of the war, it was forced conscription. They said what they had to say not to get shot in the head. While I don’t doubt that many, even most, were loyal to the Nazis, a lot of of them were not. a great many joined because they had no other choice.

This was the oath they took in the Wehrmacht:
„Ich schwöre bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid, daß ich dem Führer des Deutschen Reiches und Volkes, Adolf Hitler, dem Obersten Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht, unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit sein will, jederzeit für diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen.“
“I swear by God this holy oath, that I shall render unconditional obedience to the Leader of the German Reich and people,
Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the armed forces, and that as a brave soldier I shall at all times be prepared to give my life for this oath.”
They were sworn to Hitler and to Hitler only. Google Führereid.
Cool. I get that you love fascist colonizers, but I’m pointing out how that has not ever worked out, and the reasons why. But keep goose stepping in. Apparently that’s very popular nowadays.
This does not, in anyway, to get my point. But thanks for googling that for me.

I’m definitely blocking you. I don’t like Nazis.
Reported. I am not a Nazi, nor do I support the IDF or Netanyahu, but you were factually and provably wrong. Free Palestine.
