But the implication of Wolfgang is that there was a degree of artificiality in making the distinction between ordinary Germans and Nazi supporters so far as many of that generation were concerned. Ordinary Germans were for the most part Nazi supporters.

Just as would have been the case for ordinary British people or ordinary Americans, if the circumstances of history had conspired to put Nazis in power in their countries. Because it's worth remembering that when the Nazis came to power, most Germans were against them. Their mass support really came after they were in power, which is how it can work.
