I don't think it's fair to compare the Communist party 
and KGB with the Nazis. 
 
Communism, after all, had become just a corrupt form 
of g*vernment, and its officers were as prone to 
bribery or flattery as any average normal being. 
 
The Nazis, OTOH, were fanatics, with an evil ideal as 
their goal, and nothing could make them change their 
minds. 
 
Comparing the Nazi occupation of Europe with, say, 
the Canadian occupation of the USA or even the 
Communist occupation of the USSR is not a fair 
comparison. A reasonable comparison might be the 
Taliban occupation of Afghanistan, or [if you want 
to use a fictional example] the Prophets' occupation 
of the USA in Heinlein's Future History.
