Eeeerrrrrrrrr. Whilst war is war and the "blood and bravery" images of WW2 are indeed "made pretty for public consumption", and many of the Allied forces no doubt committed terrible war crimes throughout a long and brutal war, to suggest that they weren't much better than the Nazis is a major, major stretch. Nazi ideology is abhorrent in ways that go far beyond the actual waging of war.

Were German soldiers much worse than Allied soldiers? Probably not; all were following orders and doing as they were expected to do, and many low-level German troops I'm sure absolutely hated what they were being asked to do, just as many Allied soldiers would have, and likewise many on both sides probably loved all of it.

But actual top-level Nazi brass pulling the strings? Actual genetic supremacists? About as close to "evil" as it comes in the real world.
