...prisoners in World War II signed occasional false confessions; yet nothing much was made of it in the U.S. The onus was all on the enemy. Nor did enemy soldiers demonstrate any greater staying power in World War II. From Germans captured at Stalingrad, the Russians learned all of Hitler's plans for their conquest...
...would suggest an ethic of motives. Under this ethic one would have to judge outside actions, those of other people and those of governments, in terms of the probable motives of the protagonists. Thus, Ho Chi Minh has killed many peasants but one does not equate him with Hitler and refuse him support, because one judges that he acted for the welfare of his people and not for personal power or out of insane hatred.

Besides serving as investment banker to such companies as ITT and Owens-Illinois...
...Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is Brecht's play to prevent Hitler by, or rather, future Hitlers. It is as if a public accountant were to attempt to sum up the nature of evil on a balance sheet. Hitler, Goebbels, Goring, Roehm, under various aliases are presented as Chicago gangsters who muscle into a vegetable trust (the depression-ravaged German industrialists) and bulldoze the honest but senile leading citizen (Hindenburg) into legalizing their protection racket...
