Soviets insidiousness had additional layer that was actively destroying national trust/cohesion and instilling culture of fear and snitching.
Stazi vs Gestapo approaches.
- lazide 2y agoA lot of the death toll for Jews in Eastern Europe was from local ‘auxiliaries’ to the Nazi Einsatzgruppens [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Einsatzgruppen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Einsatzgruppen]. If they had more time (and weren’t fighting a war at the time) the same would have happened but more directly murderous. Frankly, it’s pretty crazy that they distracted themselves from a massive war (which had quickly turned to a war of survival/attrition) to round up and murder people in areas they had already conquered just because of religious affiliation. But psychos are gonna psycho.
