There's doing it and doing it. Huge difference. In case of the events in WWII the doing is very half-assed and feels more like a coincidental thing, they went with the grain. There were some men to pick up so they played on their anti-soviet feelings. It also feels that it was just a propaganda. What I read that mostly Ukros and other "minorities" sided with the Germans.
On the other hand there were lively partizan activity behind the German lines. Ofc a part of those partizans were originally soldiers (I dunno ratio) for example from destroyed units who for some reason didn't fell into captivity, and many leading figures were NKVD officers. If there were proper attempts to win people the operation of these partizan units would have been impossible as guerillas can only be successful if they enjoy the support of the locals. And they did. This means the Germans didn't.
