I wasn't aware of this exact plan either, but to the defense of my history teacher / curriculum:

It was made very clear that millions of civilians died (even when not counting the concentration camps) due to the war of extermination (Vernichtungskrieg)

I guess it depends on the decade and the Bundesland.

In the 80s, the Wehrmacht was still presented as a morally decent army. That changed in the 90s, partly due to the Wehrmacht exhibition.
