Makes it less horrendous but more complex!
"Our" was the BBC translation. My post was on the assumption it is correct.
Stonehedge-
In the book 'Believe and Destroy' about the intellectual and ideological framework of the upper crust of the SS there are excerpts from a letter some German soldier sends home to his wife from the Eastern front. He describes in some detail how repulsive it is to him to kill children, but that he understands that this is something he must force himself do so in order to create a safe future for his own children. (The reference being how the Jews definitely were up to something and it was only a matter of time etc etc.)
So yeah, I guess brainwashing might have a lot to do with this after all.

OK, that's a massive difference actually.
Doesn't excuse the act of course.
