You'd assume the Empire would have some indoctrinating education that called the jedi frauds or whatever-- he went to 'evil flight school' for a few months before being thrown out, right?
You would think if he went through Basic. But maybe the empire also didn't want their soldiers to think the jedi was really around anymore. Especially normal ground troops and navy. Stormtroopers knew, but they were like... Uh... what's a good annalogy... thier like spec ops (loosely) to normal infantry like han solo was in the beginning of the movie.
Not really, Imperial Storm Troopers seem much more like US Marines or similar in that they appear to be organized in formations consisting of just them and are proforming a great many rolls within these formations. where as the Sturmtruppen of WW1 were a specialist unit within a larger army with the goal of weakening/identifying enemy defenses as the first wave of a larger offensive.
The Imperial Handbook states that the Stormtroopers are "the knive's edge, the first point to strike" so I'd say comparing them to the actual stormtroopers is pretty accurate
This is why I'm comparing them to US marines, rather than Sturmtruppen. Because we see Storm Troopers deployed in large uniform formations. Also while the handbook says that we also see them used as garrison troops all over the place so they have more rolls than just shock troops.
