Indeed. If your country was doing what Nazi Germany was doing, I'd rather make sure I was on the right side of the fence for my family's sake.
A family friend was a Tank Commander in the SS and he's one of the nicest people I know. It's kinda hard to ask questions and be direct about it because I didn't want to vilify him, but what I got back from him was that it seemed inevitable that Germany would win and you better make sure you didn't stand out, do your part and then get on with life.
