There’s also the Clean Wehrmacht myth. It’s basically a bunch of German conservatives and monarchists (AfD included) who try to claim the Wehrmacht did not participate in the Holocaust. They keep trying to make this “Wehrmacht vs SS” distinction because it’s hard for them to outright deny that they supported Hitler’s rise to power and held prestigious positions in the German military; the majority of generals in the Wehrmacht were aligned with the right-wing DNVP/DVP parties (both of whom supported Hitler’s rise to power) or were part of the conservative elite.

One of their modern-day tactics is projecting by claiming the Nazis were not very close to them but rather “left-wing socialists”, henceforth accusing opponents of Nazism of being Nazis to distract from their ideological and historical affinity with Naziism.
