		+	==Nazi Leaders==
		+	1920's Nazis tended to be nasties like Rohm (basic thug), Goering (upper-class thug) and Goebbels (PhD-in-literature thug). Others, like "banality of evil" Adolf Eichmann (#889,895), joined in 1932, and a big rush in Spring 1933 to get government jobs. https://buff.ly/3x9r8kN
		+
		+	The camps wouldn't have killed a tenth of the people they did without the bureaucrats. That goes for the really bad ones like Eichmann, but also the nice guys like Speer.
		+
		+	Speer just wrote good memos allocating foreign workers to different sectors of production, but was careful not to probe into how they were carried out or why there was so much wastage. At Nuremberg he was the only repentant sinner.
		+
		+	Speer declared that he indeed deserved punishment. That is contrary to the bureaucratic mode of thought, where following procedures correctly is the highest virtue.
		+
		+	But Speer was at heart an artist, Hitler's architect who was so good at practical contractor stuff and so refreshingly honest that Hitler put him in charge of the German economy and competing Nazis thought he was harmless enough not to be backstabbed much.

 Speer was  an idealistic 28-year-old architect  who in 1933 became  a favorite of Adolf Hitler's and during World War II became minister for the economy and accomplished wonders of organization, increasing German arms output so much that he may have lengthened war significantly via his competence.  It's noteworthy that what first brought him to Hitler's attention was not his architecture (which was really too modernist for Hitler), but that he had renovated Dr. Goebbel's house in an unbelievably short time through brilliant scheduling of subcontractors. From Albert Speer's ''Inside the Third Reich'', page 65:

 Worse still was the restriction of responsibility to one's own field. That was explicitly demanded. Everyone kept to his own group--- of architects, physicians, jurists, technicians, soldiers, or farmers. The professional organizations to which everyone had to belong were called chambers (Physicians' Chamber, Art Chamber), and this term aptly described the way people were immured in isolated, closed-off, areas of life.  The longer Hitler's system lasted, the more people's minds moved within such isolated chambers. If this arrangement had gone on for a number of generations, it would have caused the whole system to wither, I think, for we would have arrived at a kind of caste society.   The disparity between this and the ''Volksgemeinschaft'' (community of the people) proclaimed in 1933 always astonished me. For this had the effect of stamping out the promised integration, or at any rate of greatly hindering it. What eventually developed was a society of totally isolated individuals.

+The ordinary party member was being taught that grand policy was much too complex for him to judge it. Consequently, one felt one was being represented, never called upon to take personal responsibility.  The whole structure of the system was aimed at preventing conflicts of conscience from even arising. The result was the total sterility of all conversations and discussions among these like-minded persons. It was boring for people to confirm one another in their uniform opinions.
