Yes, exactly. I mean, I study German literature and speak German and have lived in Germany, and I understand very well that it was very possible to serve in the army without being a member of the Nazi Party, and there was also a pretty hefty draft going on; if you were male and able-bodied, you served, whether you believed in what Hitler was doing or not. But even knowing all of this, the way it was handled didn't work for me at all. Alex would have grown up and been educated in the U.S., and I can't believe that she's so ignorant of history that she wouldn't have at least complicated feelings about it. *sigh* Writer!fail.
