Ordinary Men: Reserve Police B...

"While this book discusses a specific Reserve Unit during WWII, the general argument Browning makes is that most people succumb to the pressures of a group setting and commit actions they would never do of their own volition."

It feels somehow worse that we have WW2 as a cautionary tale and yet are here now anyway.

Today in Labor History February 2, 1942: The Osvald Group took the first anti-Nazi action in Norway, to protest the inauguration of Vidkun Quisling, by bombing the Oslo East Station. Over 200 members of the Osvald Group committed at least 110 acts of sabotage against the Nazis and Quisling’s collaborationist government during World War II. The Osvald Group was aligned with, and support by, the Soviet Union. The Nazis occupied Norway starting on April 9, 1940. The Osvald Group continued its sabotage until 1944, when the USSR officially disbanded the organization.

Statue outside the Central Station, Oslo, is entitled Smash Naziism
