vWhat about open discrimination of Jews before the war.
Taking all their rights as German citizens?
Beating them on the streets taking over businesses that was up to moral standard of average German as it seems.
It was done in open for all to see.
There is a thin line between the above and mass murder.
Since Germans at the time had no serious problem with that Hitler could be quite confident to move into mass extermination.
Sure its difficult to judge people who lived in those times but just the German discipline and maybe culture of blind obedience has something to do with it?
It was very easy to turn militaristic society into Nazi.
