When they discuss WW II, German students don their hair shirts. Most German civilians believe in Europe, a peaceful cooperative Europe and strongly disapprove of just about everything Germany did 1936-1945, if they think about them at all.
Even German Bundeswehr officers I speak with are extremely reluctant to even discuss Wehrmacht operations in World War II, for fear of being accused of "glorification."
My view is, there were some really crappy things the Wehrmacht did (complicity with the Holocaust being most prominent among them but there were others). But, divorced from the politics, they also achieved nearly miraculous things. The seizure of Fort Eben Emael in 1940 in Belgium by German paratroops was a spectacular piece of soldiering. Knocking the French out of the war in six weeks was a great achievement. Rommel's operations in North Africa (probably the most sterile environment in WW II) were remarkable. Germans are not allowed to even consider those.
