    I get what this is going for but most of Nazi Germany fell into one of these categories in one way or another and history only really remembers the high party members and the ss as nazis- the rest got washed away by Cold War propaganda. No point in trying to make history seem like some great judge of character when clearly we don’t learn a thing from it

      We learn, then we watch the sheep repeat it, as they follow the other guys that also did learn it, but somehow decided to also play the part of the nazi or the collaberator/controlled opposition.
