While >>17763116 is right about the Nazis in particular, there is a situation where I could see some level of sympathy or understanding being given.
The Strain is a shitty vampire series, but it has a lot of WWII flashback segments. In one, two Ukrainian Soviet POWs (Fetrovski and Boiko) volunteer for auxiliary work to get out of starving in a POW camp, without knowing about the final solution. When they're first ordered to kill, they decline, only for the Nazi officer Eichorst to order them lined up alongside the Jews and shot as well by the those men willing to do it. Fetrovski pleads for a second chance, seeing that he and his friend Boiko would die for nothing, and ends up shooting and killing a Jew. He's allowed to live, while Boiko is killed anyway.
Shit like that can almost be understood; and if you get threats to family involved, even moreso.
That said I don't actually know whether or not the real Ukrainian auxiliary would face execution for refusing to participate in mass killings, or if they'd just go back to the POW camp. Which is still bad, but closer to social isolation than it is to you and your friends being killed for not doing something that was going to happen anyway.
