A question framing Richard J. Evans' book Hitler’s People (2024):
“Why did so many leading Germans in responsible positions, in the key institutions of society, go along with dictatorship, war and genocide? And what did those of them who survived the war think about their conduct under the Third Reich? Did they gain a moral perspective on it, did they repent, did they come to an understanding of what they had done?”

"“How do we explain the rise and triumph of tyrants and charlatans? What causes someone to be gripped by a lust for power and domination? Why do such men — and they are almost always men — manage to gather around them disciples and supporters willing to carry out their commands?”

@wdlindsy@toad.social“What permeated the whole process and drove it on was the violence Hitler encouraged, a rage and hatred against Socialists and Communists and democrats and indeed virtually everybody who did not support him that also consumed his rank-and-file followers as well as his cheerleaders and acolytes such as Goebbels and Göring.”
