Not sure it is really on point to blame conscripted and indoctrinated kids for the rise of nazism. Rather more prudent to look at the capitalists and regular conservatives who thought marrying fascists would be profitable. Also prudent because it is happening again, and it is not the youth's fault now either.
They weren't blaming the youth. Where do you get that from?
By estimating the age of the soldiers in the bottom image.
Why would you assume the text was only referring to those soldiers and not literally everyone who aided and abbetted the Holocaust?
I did not assume that. However, distinguishing who is to blame is important in order to learn from the past. Blaming conscripts and politicians equally is shifting blame away from those who were responsible.
