As good drama should do, it put us in others shoes, and made me wonder (as a 22 year old man) what I would have done in the same position would I have spoken out? Yet, at the same time, Generation War did not downplay the enormity or guilt of the war, you felt that even 'just following orders' or being silent carried with it a huge sense of guilt and responsibility.

The message, I felt, is that the german characters were all both perpetrators and victims of the War and Nazi state.
As the show develops, all the characters save Viktor are complicit in the crimes of the Nazis either as perpetrators or bystanders. So, you get a sense that the characters believe in National Socialism, but not necessarily to the point of committing war crimes. It would have been difficult to emphasize with fervent Nazis and I feel that, in any totalitarian state, most are only following the wind (this is the heart of the controversy to me!). All of the main characters gave hints of their ideology, Wilhelm (the officer) believed he was fighting to save Germany and Carly (the nurse) thought she was fulfilling the duty of a good german woman. I actually think, if you were watching closely, they dealt with this quite well.
As Richards Evans points out in the above discussion, none of the main characters showed signs of fervent Nazism, which was unlikely given that as young adults they would have spent their formative years under Nazi rule and thus Nazi propaganda. The biggest problem identified by most reviewers was the supposed portrayal of the characters as victims, naive people thrust into positions they did not expect to be in, people who 'only followed orders'. (There were lots of other implausible elements, but those were the only two that really stuck out as highly improbable to me). Personally, I thought that it was broadly accurate, the main dents in the show's plausibility was the close and continued friendship of Viktor (a jew) with 4 ordinary Germans, and the fact that all the characters kept bumping into each other.
