My mention of the Nazi's had anything to do with the fac tthat I have read two books this last week on ethics and much of it used examples of Nazism to point how extreme ethical behaviors can change when one feels responsibility is not theirs. Also, My wife and I just visited the Holocaust Museum this Spring, it was horrifying by the way.
I would also imagine, just as the ethical business books I read, that many discussions on ethical decisions and actions will revert to comparisons about Nazism or Hitler. They were evil in their own right, but it is interesting how people can rationalize such atrocious behavior.
