Holocaust, Unit 731, Nanking, Volhynia... a lot of things during the WW2. It almost seem unbelievable that humans can be this fucked up and cruel.

Always wondered why he never simply offed Tiberius while he had the chance all those years, i mean the guy was just a decrepit old fuck and he certainly didn't lack enemies both inside and outside of Rome to pit the blame on.
