      Nationalism and racism are powerful influences that obviously swayed many, but I believe, like now, there were also some who understood how evil the regime was. But living in a totalitarian police state is dangerous and many are inhibited from doing what they should, which is really the point of a totalitarian police state: to ensure people do what they’re told rather than what they should.

      If you spoke out against the Nazis, you would have ended up in a concentration camp and people knew that. So few actually did something. However you have some interesting statistics, like for example that there was a massive drop of children being named “Adolf” in Germany in 1942.
