And at one time the majority of Germans thought it was perfectly okiley-dokiley to shove Jews into ovens.
They probably still do but they’ve learned to keep their mouths shut eh!
I have to wonder about your assertion, “the majority of Germans thought it was perfectly okiley-dokiley to shove Jews into ovens.”
I would agree that at one point it was a majority of Germans who accepted that Jews were inferior, etc. But from reading I’ve done in the past, it is my understanding that the Nazis had to keep the Final Solution secret. They went to great lengths to deceive not only the Jewish populace that the Jews were being shipped to work farms, but they were deceiving the general populace as well as to the true location and demise of those who were shipped.
Many Germans did lie to themselves, and perhaps knew more than they wanted to admit, but that in itself indicates that they did not agree with the Final Solution as being perfectly okiley dokiley.
Just my honest/humble opinion.
That being said, I did get your point as a commentary about the veracity of polls.
