      Didn’t the SS go crazy from the cruelty?

      So much that they had to engineer gas chambers because of the mental health toll that the slaughter took on the SS?

      Meanwhile in Indonesia, they did mass murder with a wire tied to a wall. By wrapping around their neck and pulling until they died of suffocation. One after the other.

        The constant exposure to the horror gave them mental problems, yes. And that is indeed the reason why the gas chambers were built: to mask the naked reality of what they were doing from them.

        But the point is: they did it, and they kept doing it. Just more comfortably.

        In other words, they conceptually had no trouble killing other human beings by the thousands.
