The Germans were utterly fucked when it came to gathering intelligence because threatening captives doesn't work. Allies put captured generals in a luxury prison and bugged them.
That was true of Nazi interrogators with the exception of Hanns Scharff. He’s famously known in military intelligence for his use of kindness to extract information from unknowing participants.
It's almost like Nazis were naturally unkind people.
Yeah. It's in the name
Nazi is short for national socialist. That wouldn’t per se suggest unkindness by name alone. The appearance is deceptive, of course.
No, it was a joke. Like the "are we the baddies?" meme
Some, I assume, are good people.
You know they’re not sending their best. 🙄
It kind of does, if you follow the implications and start asking how they resolve the oxymorons.
Turns out, by ignoring one of the words entirely.
I feel like they modify each other.
Socialism is for the betterment of the community. Nationalism allows them to define who is included in that community.
It’s also the Cletus of the time and place.
Ah yes of course, how could one possibly assume unkindness of someone just because they're a Nazi. It's just short for two common words, surely we can't assume genocidal intent or otherwise fairly criticize anyone for something so trivial

Even regular pows had it pretty good, lots were out to work on farms in the Midwest then stayed and hung their shingle.
