<It is the task of the historian to focus the attention on what happened. This enables the public to gain knowledge - not only superficially but in detail. This is what is being asked for from Germans: no big symbolic gestures but to know what happened. Nobody demands from us to lead a guilt-ridden life.> Something the Germans have done. The Japanese otoh are still in denial about what was done, particularly in china. They desperately want to believe that they were honorable. Germans know that there was no honor in what happened under Hitler.

I do not see how "the System" could lead to genocide, which was a very deliberately pursued policy. As soon as the Eastern Front was opened, practically, the Einsatzgruppen SS followed the Wehrmacht with the purpose of extermination. They began by rounding up Jews in cities and the surrounding countryside of places like Riga, having them dig mass graves, stripping them, and shooting them in the back of the head, to be thrown into the pit with lime. There were no mutinies.
