I realize that this involves a switch in worldview because most of us were taught a convenient fiction in school. I certainly believed that the
Nazi's had a police state, even for the Ayrians, from the start. I thought the Holocaust was very secret. But now, I accept the evidence that Nazi
Germany was not a police state and the Holocaust was not all that hidden.
Even if the Holocaust wasn't hidden, was there a mechanism for protest? Could someone have voiced their objections with impunity. Written a letter to the editor? Staged a protest? The idea seems rather ludicrous to me especially in view of the fact that their country was at war assumedly with the rights restrictions that are normally present in such cases.
I'm not taking sides, BTW, but I'd be interested in further reading on this if anyone has a reference.
