Reminds me of an incredibly tough read I was assigned back for my undergrad about the Nazi death squads in Eastern Europe called “Ordinary Men”. I still have the book as it was so impactful but I haven’t had the heart to read it since. It drove home how these were for all intents and purposes ordinary people rather than the heartless boogeymen we imagine them to be to comfort ourselves
Nazis got prisoners in their death camps to be put in charge of some of the admin and prisoner logistics because it was too hard for the Nazi's mental health to clean up the bodies after the showers.
