I mean... The SS were all volunteers. The wehrmacht soldiers who committed atrocities were too. Nobody was forced to murder jews in nazi germany. There was no punishment for not doing the warcrimes, you just didn't get promoted. The clean wehrmacht is a myth made after the war to whitewash the army in western germany to free more soldier to prepare for an eventual war with the USSR.
I don't know what the meme is trying to say, but if it's trying to argue agains "holier than thou attitudes" it's doing a terrible job at it. Funnily enough it is doing a pretty good job at showcasing why you're a fool for calling it a holier than thou attitude lol.
