You should check out the book Soldaten about German POWs living in the UK during WW2. It's a fantastic read. One of the best impulse buys I've ever made.
I bought it at a local bookstore, but it's on [Amazon UK] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007IL51RG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1) and Amazon US in book and kindle format. I've seen it recommended on /r/askhistorians a couple of times too. Well worth a read if you like your history
You're confusing war crimes in combat (of which all parties involved in the war were guilty) with Nazi leadership's masked plan of extermination.

People should read Soldaten. It's an amazing look into the minds of captured Germans. Basically it's the transcripts of private conversations between POW Germans. Apparently some germans had no idea they were being recorded and you get a glimpse into their souls. It's not a pleasant experience.
