Yes they did. In fact more than an estimated 2 million Vietnamese civilians were unnecessarily slaughtered in this forgotten genocide. Entire villages full of women (many pregnant), children, and even elderly were slaughtered senselessly by U.S troops similar to what they are currently doing in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Why were German soldiers willing to commit atrocities for their country?
The nature of war in general, and martial discipline in particular. Given the right conditions, all soldiers regardless of nationality, will commit any heinous act ordered. Soldiers by nature, are trained to follow orders. The more readily they do so, the better soldiers they are. Concience has a habit of conflicting with some orders, and thus is not welcome in war. When mixed with a leadership who has no qualms about killing anyone for any reason, the results are catastophic. Think of a soldier as a guard dog, who will attack whatever his master sics him upon. A bad master makes for a bad dog, and so it is with soldiers.
