Re: Like Us
I think my views may be very similar to yours. War puts terrible pressures on men, placing them in unimaginable circumstances and facing them with unsolvable quandaries. It awakens dormant qualities, bringing out both the best and the worst. How many Nazi war criminals would have led quiet, nondescript and even laudable lives had Hitler never come to power?
