No, the German army was the army for Germany and the Nazi's was a party created by Adolf Hitler during his rise of the Third Reich. Since Hitler was the Furher the German army fought for Hitler during the war
During the years prior to and during World War II, many young Germans joined the "Hitler Youth" group in Germany (and were encouraged to do so by many older Germans) as a result of Nazi propaganda. Trumpeting an "Us vs. Them" theme, as well as admonishing all Germans to do their part for the nation, the Nazis were widely successful in drawing out absolute loyalty and self-sacrifice from German citizens -- including German youth.
Depends on what you mean by Bad thing because their is many views of bad. During the reign of the the Third Reich, what we think of bad was good to the Germans. Hitler encourages some people to do thing such as killing and beating people because Hitler wanted to free Europe from Jews and communism. Hitler encouraged people because, He knew they would listen to him. The listen because Hitler was their leader and Hitler was an inspiration to all the German's. The Germans were inspired by Hitler because, of the positive things Hitler done.

While the National Socialist Party was a German political party headed by Adolph Hitler there were plenty of Polish, Austrian, Dutch, and even American Nazis during WWII. Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were German.
The German campaign to seize Stalingrad in 1942 ended as a major stunning defeat for the German Army. It was the first noticeable defeat for Hitler since he took power in 1933, and the most apparent military defeat of the German Army since the war began in 1939. However, it is not accurate that Germans lost faith in Hitler because of this. It is more accurate to say that Germans began to think that Hitler was not invincible, and that ultimate victory in the war was not certain. Germans still supported Hitler & their nation to the fullest, however doubt of the eventual outcome of the war began to enter their minds. Although eventually by 1945, many Germans had lost faith in (and many more their enthusiasm for) Hitler as their leader, they never really stopped supporting Germany during the war. The threat of Russian invasion & occupation led most Germans to resist the Soviets to the very (bloody) end of the war.
The Germans occupied.
