In WWI as well as in WWII, they led a war of terror against civilian populations, This started immediately in the first days of the wars, and it was not done only by SS troops but by regular army as well. This along with the "final solution" process and the long occupation period (In Belgium we had to suffer it in WWI too) with the lack of freedom and food were not very funny for the non pro-nazi local people.
Other countries did such things, even Belgium did in Congo. And nazis found lots of nazis wannabe and supporters in the occupied countries, and even in the US (remember how much Henri Ford sponsorized A Hitler?). "collaborateurs" which have probably been hatred more than the germans themselves.
Anyway, Germany changed since that time. There are neo nazis in Germany but there are neo nazi in nearly any "white" country.
Today we live in friendship with our neighbours and we start to commemorate the vets days with them.
What matters is to fight fachism, not let those athrocities happen again, no matters where in the world, and we can lead that along with germans too.
