For most officers with aristocratic background who came from Prussia tradition, although their interests are similar or consistent with those of the Nazis (of course, when Germany is about to be defeated, these people are more keen to keep Germany than the Nazis), but they look down on the Nazis who came to power by rogue politics. Therefore, many German soldiers boycotted Nazi ceremonies.

Of course, this is just an unconscious show, because all kinds of Nazi atrocities, including the holocaust, are directly or indirectly involved (the massacre of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front may even be more terrible than that of the SS, and some people always emphasize the German military tradition of the so-called knights. Knights only need to look at the bloody records of Teutonic knights to know what the German military tradition is. ).

The Wehrmacht belongs to the traditional German conventional armed forces, while the SS belongs to the Nazi's own armed forces. In the early stage of the war, the Wehrmacht was dominant, but in the later stage, the elite of Germany was the SS.
