Speaking of evil ...

Blonde German housewife Erna Petri was returning home after a shopping trip in town when something caught her eye: six small, nearly naked boys huddled in terror by the side of the country road.
Married to a senior SS officer, the 23-year-old knew instantly who they were.
They must be the Jews she’d heard about — the ones who’d escaped from a train taking them to an extermination camp.
But she was a mother herself, with two children of her own. So she humanely took the starving, whimpering youngsters home, calmed them down and gave them food to eat.
Then she led the six of them — the youngest aged six, the oldest 12 — into the woods, lined them up on the edge of a pit and shot them methodically one by one with a pistol in the back of the neck.
This schizophrenic combination of warm-hearted mother one minute and cold-blooded killer the next is an enigma and one that — now revealed in a new book based on years of trawling through remote archives — puts a crueller than ever spin on the Third Reich.
Because Erna was by no means an aberration. In a book she tellingly calls ‘Hitler’s Furies’, Holocaust historian Professor Wendy Lower has unearthed the complicity of tens of thousands of German women — many more than previously imagined — in the sort of mass, monstrous, murderous activities that we would like to think the so-called gentler sex were incapable of.'

The Barbara Boxer of Nazi Germany.
Anyone with any experience with American women who vote Democrat will not be surprised. Shrewish harpies who overflow with hate. Many such women get elected to office nowadays.
If anyone says there would be no wars if women ran the world, you can always look up Catherine the Great of Russia, Elizabeth 1 of England, Mary 1 of England, Isabella of Castille, Elena Ceauescu, Winnie Mandela and the Mongols. Now, it sure looks like you can add these female Nazis to that list too.

She probably got off sexually on doing it.
When I read stuff like this, I get sick to my stomach.
Is this what Statism can do? Are Germans somehow morally defective monsters, or can any group of people be made to behave so horrifically?
Disgusting. They should all have been hanged.

Spirited: I think you’re right. Augustine said that hate eventually burns up the ability to love, empathize, and feel compassion.
I wouldn’t put Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I or even the Mongols in the same category as these degenerates.
How could a society which was once viewed as so culturally advanced, allow such a monster as Hitler to so twist their minds and hearts?
Just to be clear: you meant the women, I hope, and not the children. :)
OF COURSE! Why the heck would I be thinking about children?
In the sixties, these sorts of tales were the stuff of racy magazines. The women were somewhat better looking, and the stories were thought to be fiction. Made up perhaps, but not fiction.
And some Nazi women (Leni Riefenstahl) even get huge applause and accolades from the Oscars crowd. But that’s our Hollywood left for you...
...can any group of people be made to behave so horrifically?

Absolutely...Janet Reno - Waco, Mad Maddie - Iraq, Shrill - Benghazi and all over the ME.
We’ve done more than our share of whacking people.
I’m a sometime grammar Nazi. Sorry about that. The sad thing is that we are seeing the same fundamental transformation here. To those educated by the government, Conservatives are subhuman.
What are you talking about? And to even put Riefenstahl in the same group with this woman is ridiculous.
