I see the peanut gallery has given this subject the same level of contemplation they apply to everything else. You may be low achievers but at least you're consistent.

In any case your feeble attempt at trollery conceals a fascinating question about the banality of evil. Not everybody in Nazi Germany was Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels. Not all Nazis were bad people, considering that everyone in the German military was a de-facto Nazi and there was a wartime draft.
The fact is that the people who drove Jews out of their businesses and into the ghettos, the people who fed and clothed the men who ran the death camps, even the exterminators themselves were not exceptional paragons of evil. They were ordinary Germans, ordinary people.
Rather like the people who kept slaves, the people who deliberately infected Native Americans with Anthrax, the people who burned witches, stoned adulterers, lynched black men... they were all ordinary people with all of their egos, frailties and capacity for monstrous acts.
the first part of your post was unnecessary cause I already said that. I guess you wrote it to sound smart infront of dumb people like Rockin
It's very easy to sit in front of a computer insulated from the reality of history by seventy years and thousands of miles and say "I wouldn't have done this if I was a German under Hitler, but this other person would!" It's much more difficult to ask yourself honestly if you would have contributed to the suffering of the Jews and to come up with the answer "I don't know".
