He quotes sources that show the Wehrmacht were willing participants in carrying out atrocities against Russians. The Wehrmacht didn't do as much as the SS because it wasn't their job, but they certainly participated. You don't need indoctrination when you believe all Russians, including civilians, are the enemy.

Henry Metelmann's writing also extensively covers his experience in the Wehrmacht where they "took the gloves" off, so to speak.

and the films that most accurately show the Eastern Front:

Mein Kreig ( German perspective through film cameras carried by soldiers who were there; survivors who narrate their footage )

Come + See ( from the Russian perspective )

Vilsmaers Stalingrad misses by miles in comparison
