Were the Nazis truly evil like they are portrayed to be? Why

>any human
>actually evil

>>1050750
maybe

>>1050750
define evil

Depends on the Nazi, like anything else. The higher ups were almost definitely totally morally bankrupt, almost as a prerequisite.

>>1050776
How was it that so many immoral people were able to gather in one organization?

>>1050780
>So many

You've got your pick of the litter as chancellor and social darwinism was an easily digestible concept at the time.

>>1050780
The top of any political party is always full of corrupt immoral people. Moral and law abiding people don't make it far in the dirty world of politics. Or business either.

>>1050783
The party was very large, wasn't it?

I said the higher ups, though maybe I should have clarified further. The people who knew the intimate details of what was going to transpire under Hitler and supported it were definitely "evil." The lower you get on the totem pole, the lower of the concentration of evil and the higher the concentration of innocent ignorance.

The Japanese were more evil because, unlike the Germans, their soldiers were actually brainwashed ideologues.

>Why did they steal artwork?

To have something to distract them from the terrified screams of their daughters and little sisters while they were being gang raped by the invading Alied armies (well, until thy blew their own cowardly brains out).

>>1050820
Wrong in both ways. Many Japanese soldiers were simply young men scared shitless of the oppressive cultural burden they faced, as there were those of the Wehrmacht who died with "Mein Fuhrer" on their lips.

Depends if you consider breaking away from the global bank to be evil.

>>1050750
No.
And because artwork is nice.
>>1050776
It's actually the other way around.
The lower ranks were the most fanatical and corrupt, while the top was pretty dead set and even.
Otherwise Intentionalism would be the accepted theory.

>>1051018
The tops are the people consciously condoning mass murder -- they can't plead any ignorance. Every single one of them is a lunatic psychopath.

>that made up quote
I think historical revisionism actually goes on /pol/, please escort yourself there

>>1051031
Incorrect.
They allowed the conditions for the holocaust to take place.
It was in no way apart of their own personal plan, but carried out by the lower ranks of the radicalized party.

>>1050750
"History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books-books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon?”

Wild misuse of logical fallacies really belongs on /pol/ as well.

You're the one posting a quote, a quote which conveniently leaves the source out because as a simple google search will tell you there is none. It was made up in this foreword TO A 1938 (pre-war) book ( http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/PROPAGANDA_IN_THE_NEXT_WAR_FOREWORD.html ) which the author, who happens to not be a historian but the leader of the Islamic Party of Britain (who, among other things, claims Napoleon converted to Islam and his law is based on Islam). It's this fake quote throwing people use to justify garbage like holocaust revisionism, so please do go to your own psuedoscience and pseudohistory hugbox.

>>1050750
Wehraboo!!

>"evil" or "good" outside the realm of opinion

>>1051103
OP didn't ask about objective evil, it's a thread about our opinions. Now go back to the Nietzsche thread
