It must have been difficult for many German soldiers once word had filtered through what was really happening in these camps, hard to believe even. I think it was rare to find an ordinary soldier who supported such things, but even so many were tared with the same brush, or questioned as to how they could have continued fighting for Germany, like they had a choice.
I always find it fascinating to read the words of those who lived through WWII, whoever they were, but perhaps even more so from an ordinary German soldiers POV as, living in the UK, a voice like this is not heard as often.
