Summary

This quote suggests that the Nazis possessed a deep understanding of human psychology and manipulation. By claiming that they understood God better than anyone, it implies that they knew how to exploit religion and manipulate people's beliefs to advance their agenda. The statement about making God stay away implies that the Nazis were successful in keeping moral obligations and conscience at bay while carrying out their atrocities. This remark sheds light on the extent of psychological warfare and manipulation employed by the Nazis during World War II.

All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts. A British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by 'our' side . . . The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them
