Iv had a look at FAQ and couldn’t find the answer but forgive me if this has already been asked and answered. Iv just finished watching Schindler’s list and can’t help but wondering if the average Nazi’s that worked at the camps or in the ghettos that carried out such brutal executions and saw the mass death there lacked humanity in the first place and that’s why they were assigned these particular job placements, or were they so entrenched in Hitlers belief that for them humanity didn’t even come in to play? And either way, after the war did any of the former Nazis that carried out these actions speak out in recognition of their role? A particular scene that also caught my attention was during a mass burning of bodies where a soldier screams and shoots blindly into the pile which made me wonder whether they just completely shut down the moral part of their brain, and if so did they ever get it back.
More can always be said, but /u/commiespaceinvader has a few useful older answers on this topic I would point to, including this one, which also references several more related answers.
