Didn’t have many picnics in Communist prisons, either.
Seems like dictatorships always commit atrocities - and this continues all around the world.
If only our wonderful university researchers would study some current despotic regimes, tyrants, and death cults.
Meanwhile, come to an American prison, and get a free college edumacation ! We’ve just about gotten rid of the idea of serious punishment of hardened criminals.
Right, and those who claim German military could just refuse, are dead wrong. The punishment for disobeying orders was execution, sometimes within minutes. In either the German or Russian army. Basic instinct for survival can trump the desire to do “the right thing”The time to have stopped these atrocities was before the third Reich came to power. We may be headed to learn a similar lesson. My family originally came here from Switzerland, but I had kin on both sides in WWII.The people that did this study are full of bull. I’d love to see one of them tell Hitler or Stalin to piss off, I ain’t following orders!
