An unhappy Easter

Nazi Germans rationalized their brutalities on the Eastern front in World War II by:
1) the end justifies the means (of the new order).
2) the victims were just Communists and untermensch ( sub-human mongol-slav).
3) what is ordered is ordered (befehlt ist befehlt).

If this is not perfectly clear, what about the words of a Nazi General: "What matters is not what is true or false, but exclusively what is believed."

Unhappily, what’s clear is that blindly following the leader is a silly child’s game.
