Abstract

f its fairly homogeneous social structure, but also biographical sketches of nine SS-leaders that help to illustrate her empirical findings. Both yield interesting results. Perhaps the most frightening of her answers to the questions posed above can be found in the mentality of these SS-men, which is mainly the result of their training at Dachau: to them, cruelty towards others was not only a necessity for ideological reasons—it was also simply a casual act, something that they thought they need not reflect upon.
