During this event Speer and Hitler became close friends and when Troost died in 1934, Speer filled his position as the Party’s Chief Architect.

Research Analysis: Pleasure in Mass Executions During World War II, there were thousands of young men who lined up to serve their great country of Germany, unaware of Adolf Hitler’s plans for mass execution. In 1968, U.S. soldiers defended their action of opening fire to hundreds of unarmed civilians, by stating that they were given an order. Psychologists have been studying humans’ natural willingness to administer outrageous treatments. Stanley Milgram and Philip G. Zimbardo both held experiments to study the effects of obedience to authority. Herbert C. Kelman and V.

The Perils of Obedience Review the structure of social life as one can point to These experiments started three months after the trial of the Nazi war criminals in WWII. Milgram also tells us that “authority is ancient as old as the story of Abraham” (White, Billings. Pg.691).

The SS were known for their harsh, merciless brutality toward the prisoners in concentration camps and often abused them simply for their own personal enjoyment. The SS are covered extensively in the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel and other accounts of the Holocaust, and their acts can be divided into categories; including their rise to and fall from power, key figures in the establishment of the SS, and the treatment of prisoners at concentration camps. One category with major significance is the Nazis’ rise to and fall from power.
