The Holocaust was not unlike warfare--the other-side-of-the-coin of warfare. Obedience unto death, killing human beings, with honor and glory subtracted." 

Hitler was a jive-ass motherfucker. He revealed his thinking. "If society gives me the right, the "ok" to send my own soldiers to die in warfare, to have no regret about the death of my own soldiers in warfare, why should society object if require Jews to be absolutely obedient unto death.

Not so dumb as people think he was. Building atrocities that we condemn as unacceptable on atrocities that are acceptable, indeed that we conceive as "honorable."

 Was he CONSCIOUS that he was linking these two forms of obedience to death? I'm not sure. Only on a SUBLIMINAL level.

But it's clear he connected the MORAL RIGHT to ask Germans to die with the moral right to ask Jews to die. How many German soldiers died in the Second World War? Look it up.  Koenigsberg.
