National guilt and collective guilt are distinct concepts

Evidence

The concept of collective or group-based guilt does not necessarily imply that all group members share equally such feelings of guilt, for they depend on varying internalized norms as well as degree of identification with the collective. The term only signifies that such individually experienced guilt feelings are related to group membership. While the term national guilt points to the objective political legacy of the Nazi crimes, collective guilt refers to the specific level of emotional processing of this legacy: to the feelings of guilt evoked among Germans as group members who bear no personal responsibility for the atrocities their nation was involved in. — Nyla R. Branscombe and Bertjan Doosje (eds.), Collective Guilt, 1158
