Unfortuantely, Horst, you're wrong. The Nazis were just a bunch of ordinary
Germans, ie, just like anyone else. To claim that they were anything more or
less is to beg for it to happen again. Besides, the holocaust perpetrated by
the Nazis was neither the most lethal nor the most terrible; history, sadly
20th century history in particular has amply demonstrated that fact.
