Well, it was the 'virtues', nothing else, that caused such cruelties - obedience and loyalty. We call it "vorauseilender Gehorsam" (anticipating obedience) and "Nibelungen - Treue" (Nibelung - fidelity). Nazis were perfect in rememorizing the old saga - virtues. Together with the teutonic thoroughness we got such consequences. The deal was: We give you prosperity and glory, you give us your "old germanic virtues".
So, if you want to see it a bit from the wicked side: the best advice is:
Fuck the virtues! Live the life as you want and let others do the same!
