How could so many intelligent men follow such a batshit retarded ideology?
The iq distribution of Pol Pot's regime probably looked the same. Intelligent and capable people always rise to the top in pretty much any government. Who knew.

personal gains
group mentality
when you are thrown into a group of lunatics, not being a lunatic becomes abnormal
also mental illnesses in some cases

>german nationalists were all lunatics with mental illnesses
>jewish zionists were all lunatics with mental illnesses
Sounds right to me. You?

At a certain point, high IQ just makes you mentally ill rather than more intelligent

>smarter than Doenitz
>Keitel smarter than Speer
Doenitz was the best commander in chief because he knew the enemy and its own potential (Reader knew that the surface navy was doom tho but still wanted to go forwards with it)
Keitel was a yes man and Goering was a morphine addict retard fat fuck
Speer was the only one with common sence
Idiot, they saw this "retarded ideology" make a shithole become a world power with their own eyes.
It's so easy to judge several decades later.
