If you, like me, are sick to death of people on both the left and the right being called Nazis. Then you know that to this point, most of these have been mere inaccurate epithets. I have been shaken in recent days by this. It is an excerpt from a legal document issued by a Military judge in Nazi Germany. The full document is quoted in the remarkable book The Good Old Days: The Holocaust as Seen by Its Perpetrators and Bystanders. The document is guidance issued in a case against an SS soldier being tried for shooting Jews without official authorization.
