We're the Only Ones Oath-Breaking Enough

No doubt this will happen -- the question is with all, or will some refuse? [More]

I expect we'll find out some day.

Truly excellent.
It's happened before. Peter Longerich's
The Unwritten Order
describes how things went down*.
The Kirkus Review has a review of this.
Claudia Koonz The Nazi Conscience
relates how rather low-key indoctrination worked, in that it made the various unit amenable to the orders.
Peter Fritzsche in his rather dense

has a quote from one Landers [IIRC, he
was such, not the SS] upon his realization that large scale murder had
been committed, and he was implicated.
From mid 1941 to mid 1945, when they
surrendered was four grim year even
with the Final Solution often taking
priority.
I wonder what plans there are for those in the scenario David Hathaway describes for the participant/
perpetrators after the action.
I imagine there's also quite a bit of
similarity to the Eastern Front then.

* There's been some controversy in
academia on where the ultimate respon-
sibility for the Holocaust lies.
Really and truly, there has been.

Errata:

the Peter Fritzsche book is
Life and Death in the Third Reich

"Landers" should be "Landser"
