Agreed. Whatever others may have posted, you will note that I have consistenly attributed this attitude to the Nazi leadership. How far such an attitude permeated through the culture and the degree to which they would have pursued such racist policies absent the Nazi leadership is debatable, but I tend to believe that most Germans were not ardent Nazis.
