My point is that what ailed the father defined the son, antithetically. If his father hadn’t been so adversarial and defiant about the whole situation it seems unlikely that Dr. Wollschlaeger’s life trajectory would be anything similar to what is has been. As such the cause of the father’s mindset is rather of interest.
Oh. Ok, then. That is a telling point.
Interesting, though, that only Eichmann’s youngest son ever renounced his world view. The rest of his children were die-hard Nazis. Perhaps fact that he was not an alcoholic had something to do with it, or the fact that he was a high-level bureaucrat instead of a Wehrmacht officer doing all Eichmann’s dirty work in the field and imperfectly trying to live with it, like the good doctor’s father.
