I hope you're still checking in on this thread

See also 'Hitler's Willing Executioner's'....

According to nearly all academic historians of 20th century Germany,
"Hitler's Willing Executioners" has many serious flaws, to say the least.

Agreed, it had major flaws and because of that I stopped reading it after
about 100 pages. But for me the point was made: Hitler didn't kill six
million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, disabled people and other non-Aryans.
Neither did Goebbels, Eichmann, Himmler, Gorring or anyone else for that
matter. A huge section of German society participated in the genocide.
AFAICS the capacity for genocide is not too far below the surface in any
society and I would venture to say that it's the unquestioningly obedient
who are ultimately the Willing Executioners. Mr Bibuld and those who view
his actions favorably are maybe the freedom fighters, the Resistance. But
then again maybe I'm romanticising.

BTW you don't know where I can get a scholarship that will support me and my
family while I spend five years researching and writing a book on the
Anthropology of Genocide do you?
