This stuff is such a mind fuck. Today I learned more about war crimes than I cared to know. And it isn’t as if the contemporaries were necessarily equally horrified about it. Some were overjoyed.
I am more convinced than ever that nations are a bad invention. I now understand better what Hindenburg meant to the Germans and how America ended up militaristic.
