After reading most of the pertinent literature on Germany's experiment with Facism...it is an easy conclusion to make that the Nazi hierarchy were largely a group of morons, who were enchanted by a AMORAL charasmatic leader with twisted ideas. (Thats not to say that there weren't some really bright men involved...Hitler, Goering, Speer, Goebbels were intelligent..but intelligence doesn't necessarily mean that your not Amoral.) But what of the Greater German nation of decent folk who went along knowingly or not wanting to know....this is a question of just how far man has transcended the beast within or in other words just how civilized man really is? For the Nazi regime really let the beast within loose...

The Holocost was an abomination anyway U want to cut it, along with all the other mass murders of the 20th century. Western civilization seems to take special notice of the Nazi...German genocide of the Jews, Gyspys, Slavs, or just physically or mentally disabled. While the genocides in Armenia, Ukaraine by Stalin in the 20's and 30's, Cambodia in the 70's, Balkans and ongoing African Tribal slaughters continue on without the same outrage. Perhaps it is because it was perpetrated by a supposed Civilized Western European Nation that so horrified the West. Smacking on the moral superiority of the West's while less is expected of less civilized perhaps non Judeao/Christian peoples of the Planet. As the Japanese slaughter of the Chinese during WW2 has not raised the same eyebrow as the carnage the Germans perpetrated.
