They did commit attrocities against prisoners of war, for instance.

Anglo-Americans killed hundred thousands of German civilians, with many of them where wedged in destroyed buildings and had to burn alive. I doubt, that attrocities of the Wehrmacht or the Waffen SS reached this extend.

The most German attrocities has been commiteed in concentration camps and in occupied areas "police" forces like the Einsatzkommandos, general SS and Gestapo.

Don't be too sure.

You could have said "no".
