[QUOTE="Erin, post: 188749, member: 33777"] Unbeliever, I have a great book with a sociopsychological analysis of crowd behaviour in fascist circumstances: "The Nazi doctors" by Robert Jay Lifton. These movements are very complex and difficult to understand. Fundamentally, I think it is cultural brainwashing. What you suggest is that men acting as individuals have a choice to make between right and wrong, and probably many Germans did choose right. But the bottom line might be that brainwashing takes that freedom of will away. It's a mystery why some men lose their freedom to choose and others don't. I don't know why; i just conclude that man is weak under some circumstances. Maybe we should get rid of the circumstances. As for facing these circumstances, I think that "survivors" do not give up and are in a position where they have resources to not give up. But diabetes or any serious illness in wartime stacks the cards against you. That's why this story is so remarkable. [/QUOTE]
