    I mean, there were a shitload of Germans that stated they didn’t know what was happening. Seems like they did a decent job of keeping it a secret from them.

      Yeah - the SS were kicking in my neighbours’ doors and violently hauling them away, never to be seen again as they spout genocidal rhetoric… I’m sure they just took them to a farm upstate where they can run and play all day. Also, your family dog is still alive at 27 - he went to live with them too.

      Any plausible deniability faded pretty quickly on that one given the overt rhetoric and actions of those involved. Gellately talks about this reasonably extensively.
