Good point! Somehow when I read Germans, I immediately assumed they were targeting Nazis. This is a lot like when Australians went on a stingray killing spree after Steve Irwin died.
To be fair, it wasn't really possible to be german at the time of the holocaust and have no idea what was going on. Anything short of attempting to stop the holocaust means complacency with the holocaust, which effectively makes you a nazi.
And to be perfectly clear I am not claiming that all germans in the modern day are nazis. Merely that those that did not attempt to stop the holocaust were almost as guilty as the perpetrators.
