Because Hitler freed them from the chimera called conscience and declared that he thinks for everyone.
What Hitler thought - if Hitler thought at all - means nothing to me.
And the Germans joyfully believed that they were a superior race and were called to rid the earth of inferior races.
The Nazis postulated to be member of a superior race who they called "Aryans" = "German blooded people". Their fake definition had been ( see:

Als fremd gilt hier vor allem das Blut der auch im euro/päischen Siedlungsraume lebenden Juden und Zigeuner, das der asiatischen / und afrikanischen Rassen und der Ureinwohner Australiens und Amerikas / (Indianer), während zum Beispiel ein Engländer oder Schwede, ein Franzose oder / Tscheche, ein Pole oder Italiener, wenn er selbst frei von solchen, auch ihm / fremden Blutseinschlägen ist, als verwandt, also als arisch gelten muss, mag / er nun in seiner Heimat, in Ostasien oder Amerika wohnen oder / mag er Bürger der United States of America oder eines südamerikanischen Freistaats sein.
The blood of the Jews and Gypsies living in the European settlement area, that of the Asian and African races, and that of the aborigines of Australia and America are considered foreign. and African races and the aborigines of Australia and America (Indians) (Indians), while, for example, an Englishman or Swede, a Frenchman or Czech, a Pole or an Italian, if he himself is free from such blood strokes, also foreign to him foreign blood, must be regarded as related, i.e. as Aryan, even though he may be he may reside in his native land, in East Asia or in America, or he may be a citizen of the United States of America or of a South American Free State.

The Russians are not noticed in this in this "definition" but they are Slaws like the Poles and Czechs. Ansd this Slaws are defined to be Aryans. The reason for this nonsense "definition" had been specially the very weird anti-Semitism of the Nazis.
And then, when these bastards were asked if they knew that people were being killed near them, in the concentration camps,
Give me the name of an extermination camp - a death factory - where Russians had been murdered in industrial dimensions as this had happened with Jews.
the germans were saying, they knew nothing.
What do we not know? Tell it in a way which is free from Soviet war propaganda and I will try to find out what we know about.
And they didn't notice the smoke from the ovens and the smell of burning bodies.
I was a very very little child when my father told me what he had learned in world war 2. It was
"Never live in fear of dead people. It are the living people who you have to fear!". He spoke by the way never any bad word about any Russian or any other enemy of Germany of world war 2. He always spoke with respect about everyone.
Someone said that if the germans couldn't drown the world in blood, they would drown it in their tears.
Very interesting form of racism. What do you see when you take a look into a mirror? No one with a soul inside? Soviets don't have a soul, isn't it? To remember: You spoke some few textes ago to murder millions of people in a metropole without any conscience but with nukes. Only to say so makes you to a criminal enemy of all mankind who someone could immediatelly eliminate without regret. Nevertheless we will not send now general Geiermeier and a monster army with AV-stakes to Russia for to eliminate Dracula Putin and his soulless vampire gang. Or should we do so? ... Hmmm ... Never say no ...
