People don’t realise that Nazis were not necessarily storm troopers jackbooting up and down the streets.
They were usually law abiding citizens, (wouldn’t harm a fly!) bureaucratic of mentality. Lots of those Auschwitz guards took the jobs because of the good pay, and reliable pensions.
Many ‘Nazis’ are still alive today, elderly and dying. There was a sweet old lady in the dentists’, opining loudly about how great the days of Hitler were, and were he alive today, the bus drivers would not be so rude. ‘A country must have discipline’, l’ve heard a few times.
The banality of it all was macabre.
