When you read the history of the Third Reich and World War II, there is an obvious and horrific pattern of escalating violence.
Another thing that becomes clear is the valorization of criminality when it can be used to support the goals of the regime.
Eventually, when the Eastern Campaign begins (Barbarossa), combat is taken to its Darwinian end. It’s a war of annihilation.
Officers who received orders to ignore the laws of war understood that criminality was being recoded as courage.
