"The Nazis never saw themselves as villains" requires a link to Mitchell and Webb's "Are we the baddies?" sketch.

I've had to do a certain amount of professional research in this field over the years and the scariest of the Nazi death squad members were ordinary, middle aged family men and that's what makes what is going on in our own time all the more terrifying.
