I'm talking about the officers; captains and such. People high enough to know the office politics, that Anakin had the ear of the Chancellor.
For anyone in a senior role in the GAR, it wouldn't be surprising that Anakin sides with Palpatine, and that naturally the 501st serve Vader because they've always been his unit even when he was Anakin Skywalker.
And if enough of THEM know, then it becomes common knowledge by dint of gossip.
I think your viewpoint is naïve about human societies.
Powerful shadowy force user appears outta nowhere as the Emperor's right hand man, who just happens to be a kickass pilot and commands the personal legion of a clone wars hero who also happened to be a powerful force user and kickass pilot who had the Emperor's favor...
I know you think the Imperials are crapouts but come on.
The GAR veterans would all know the significance of the 501st.
In the same sort of way that EVERYONE in the 1950's would know who Tony McAuliffe was.
Guys I think this vader guy is actualĺy general skywalker
It can't be, he's much taller than skywalker
Maybe he got some surgery to be taller
How insecure you have to be to do that?
