    Nationalism and racism are powerful influences that obviously swayed many, but I believe, like now, there were also some who understood how evil the regime was. But living in a totalitarian police state is dangerous and many are inhibited from doing what they should, which is really the point of a totalitarian police state: to ensure people do what they’re told rather than what they should.
