yeah, ’cause back then White Europeans and Americans largely believe ‘Whites can’t be as barbaric as those colored people, surely our higher intelligence and rationality would prevent us from enacting such barbaric actions’… because well… Most Americans and Europeans were extremely racist back then, they honestly expect the fucked up things Japan was doing but honestly did not think Germany, a white nation, would do the same fucked up things as well, but low and behold, the constatation camps and the horrors of the Holocaust, in general, caused a lot of White Europeans and Americans to reconsider their beliefs and notions, here’s a white nation doing the same fucked up horrors as the ‘barbaric races’ if not WORSE then the things the ‘barbaric races’ could ever do, it played a role in the slow but inevitable deterioration of white supremacy, the monstrous atrocities that the white supremacy Nazis did both before and during World War 2.
like what @SpukiKitty #42694 said, history has repeatedly show that us humans are compliable of some truly awful things, things that if one puts them in a book, no one would take it seriously, yet, history is full of either people or moments just like that. There’s a reason why the saying ‘fact is stranger than fiction’ exist in the first place, its’ all the fucked up things found in reality that often cases simply can’t be made up because most people simply don’t want to imagine it as a possibility yet it does happen. Most people have a general notion that some human out there can’t possibly be so fundamentally fucked up that they could honestly scare the shit out of Satan himself, that’s why if you put down half of the horrible shit the worst of the Nazis ever did people would honestly won’t buy it for a second, they simply don’t want to imagine that can happen in fiction much less in real-life. Sadly, reality has an entirely different opinion on the matter it seems.
