Nazi Germany
Nazi Germany was plagued with nearly a decade or more of arrests, imprisonments, executions, and concentration camps. German citizens lost all their civic rights and a wave of Anti-Semitism swept through the country. The justice system lost all fairness; judges and courts acted in interest of Nazism as well. All Jews who were judges were dismissed. Germany became a police state since they had absolute and arbitrary authority over citizens. The concentration camps housed political offenders or potential opponents. The camps were a mechanism of fear to control the masses. But they soon became a readily available place to get rid of the “undesirable” people (i.e. Jews). These camps were institutes of death, the occupants of the camps were either subjected to various forms of torture, starvation, brutality, and “medical research” which was freezing, sterilizing, and other horrendous acts. The Jews were persecuted since the time the Nazis came to power in 1933; they were excluded from many employment opportunities, as well as from common places such as the grocery stores or theaters. To make things more horrid 7,500,000 foreign workers both male or female had slave labor forced upon them. The German Commanders left the sl . . .
The only concern the Nazi’s had was how to kill them easily and in the least amount of time. Hitler allowed and dictated the fate of the Jews as well as other German citizens. This just illustrates what a danger a dictatorship can become. They were just doing their job and duty to the state, as a soldier. Gassing was not the only manner in which Hitler used to raise the death toll, poison enemas were used in Nazi hospitals to kill mentally and physically impaired patients who were unable to drink the lethal potions. The commanders bear much of the responsibility for the mass murders and the inhuman “medical research” experiments that were allowed to go on. Although they did support Hitler most of the electorate did not know Hitler had any of this planned, as well as most of the voters were ignorant and blinded by the propaganda. When you surrender your ability to say “no”, you sacrifice an essential part of human nature and in essence just give away your soul. Furthermore, this one lesson should never have to be repeated in the future. Blame and mistakes were placed on both sides of the spectrum. During the war other countries committed atrocities such as the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki but Hitler did worse. Many of the soldiers stated that they were not guilty personally since they were just acting on orders passed down from higher state powers. In total 2,500,000 people were executed at Auschwitz alone, in addition to that another 500,000 died from starvation, disease and neglect, and this was just the amount at one camp. Whether ten thousand Russian females fall down from exhaustion while digging an anti tank ditch interests me only in so far as the antitank ditch for Germany is finished”.
