All of these men were commonplace types everywhere, Nazis for varied, everyday reasons. Idiotic meuroses, obedient careerism, amoral opportunism.
Racism, a gullible, emotional public and amoral obedience were entrenched at home. Everything was in place, waiting for crisis to metastasise.

Last, Goering, Speer, likely Schacht. They straight up knew the racial ideology was a joke, but saw it as this fantastic way to appeal to a public of racist sheep and gather money and power. And, of course, would pursue mass murder and slavery joyfully to keep the gravy coming.

The next group, probably Keitel, Kaltenbrunner, Frank, Doenitz, Raeder were your following-orders functionary guys. Whoever's in charge, they just do their job, with zero consideration of ethics. Your amoral career man who gets ahead in business and politics everywhere.

Some, like Ley, Rosenberg, Hess, and Streicher, were dull-witted, borderline brain damaged lunatics who whole-heartedly believed in the regime's dipshit ideology and added in extras.
Hess was really into promoting kooky pseudo-scientific alternative medicine. Hm.

I've got Kelley's own book on order from the national library and have just ingested "The Nazi and the Psychiatrist: Hermann Göring, Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, and a Fatal Meeting of Minds at the End of WWII"- the book the film was based on.

It's kinda weird how they were, for a time, THE Big budget prestige game that comes on a dozen floppy discs because nothing less can contain its excess.

Guns can, under the right circumstances, reduce the life expectancies of Republican legislators.

We have splits, they murder each other.

Edward "Eddy" Bernays; sorcerer and puppet master of the 20th century; genius of mass persuasion, inventor of "public relations", and the greatest ad man who ever lived.
