A vet I knew in Germany after the war dated a German girl. Remarking on the Nazi roundup, she said we were all Nazis.

The Night of the Long Knives and Hitler's speech to the Reichstag on July 13, 1934 in which he declared himself to be the "Supreme Justiciar" of the Reich and warned that anyone who raised his hand against the State would be summarily liquidated served notice on the Germans that the rule of law was gone and superseded by the Will of the Fuehrer.
I like to quote the Walter Matthau character in Fail Safe who asks: "How far do you think Hitler would have gotten if every Jew he went after had a gun in his hand?!"
Interesting discussion.
