Getting back to WWII, one thing presenter Indy Neidell drove home, in the episode that discussed Gen. Model’s suicide and suicide note, is that on the whole the German officers were fine with what Hitler was doing.

The concept of the noble German officer does not hold up under the microscope.

Yes, there were a few officers who tried the assassination of Hitler, and a famous senior Intelligence officer who actually tried to help Jews and secretly worked against Hitler.

But those were the exceptions.

Something to keep in mind when we see Abbott deploy the TX state troops against students.
