>>10847518How did Nazism come to exist as an ideology? Because it's a collective frenzy with most people choosing to selectively ignore the aspects that trouble them (like the Finn flag does)
Very, very few people knew the full extent of the war crimes. The secrecy and Gestapo made sure of that.
This secrecy left the sociopaths alone and they thought of the people there as just percentages. Do note that even among Nazis, the GP Ost was extreme and the idea of a minority. Most military and party officers "merely" wanted to pillage the country and reduce it in a state of servitude to Germany.
