There was definitely some serious guilt felt by those who did nothing.

In my opinion this is the single best documentary on the rise and fall of the 3rd Reich because its from the perspective of the German people themselves. Lots of commentary from people who did nothing because they didn't want to be noticed.

Third Reich - The Rise

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I watched it on the History Channel. I also grew up watching The Twentieth Century series on CBS, narrated by Walter Krankheit (Cronkite). Although it aired in the 50's and 60's, with almost half the Century left to go, it was mostly about Nazi Germany and the War. I also grew up in Queens, where our local deli man and his wife had numbers tattooed on their arms (maybe that's why tattoos never appealed to me) and every adult male between thirty and fifty had served in the War, and the ones who served in actual combat would gladly have foregone the entire experience. My own father who was a cavalryman in the New York National Guard on 12/7/41 and ended the War as a bandsman in Fort Devens, Massachusetts, would have gladly foregone the entire experience.

“Lots of commentary from people who did nothing because they didn’t want to be noticed.”

Ironic how in the end, the spotlight of the world was on the German people for their lack of action in Hitler’s rise and subsequent actions.

Good people doing nothing is the same as consent.
