I had a great-grandfather who was in the SS, in one of the divisions that wasn't really known for their good deeds to say the least. There is a journal which he wrote, I have yet to gather the courage to read it. All I know is some vague stories that go around in the family but from what I gather it isn't probably too pretty what he did.
It's typical that most people will tell you their grandpa was in the resistance, rarely they will tell you that they collaborated.
