The fact that "normal" people participate in atrocities against humanity is not a story worth telling, especially after the normal people lose their souls by going along with it or remaining silent about it, or whatever.
What is worth telling are the stories of millions of individuals who had a life, a future, a family, dreams, etc. and how each of those was ripped from them. In those stories is where one learns the important lessons, not in showing that the Germans were "normal people".
