“Germans who avoided killing Jews, but made a point not to get involved with the extremists who tried to overthrow Hitler, were centrists – and are still apologizing for it.”
Germans who avoided killing Jews, but made a point not to get involved with the extremists who tried to overthrow Hitler, mostly spend the 12 1/3 years of the Nazi era in hiding or in jail. It is a miracle that anyone like Konrad Adenauer survived the war. Those who did get involved with the extremists who tried to overthrow Hitler did not live to tell about their experiences.
