After Hitler fell, there were many, many everyday Germans who had cooperated with the Gestapo and the SS.
They cooperated for many reasons:
- They needed a job;
- They cooperated because it was patriotic;
- Their friends were doing it;
- They believed that some people deserved prison, camps, execution.
When Hitler was gone, they were not asked “Why did you cooperate?” They cooperated and that was enough.
You are cooperating with a lawless, evil, maniac. He will be gone and you will have to answer — no one cares why you cooperated, you cooperated now you will pay the price.
