No, it's not the right answer, but it is what's happening all over the world.
Higher standards be damned. They wanted a war, they got one. Don't come crying foul when we tortured people JUST LIKE YOU DID.

Well, this will fit in nicely with that doctrine, and the great thing is, the playbook has already been written.

Resistance against the Third Reich took many forms. Overt opposition was rarely wise because of the danger of reprisals from the Germans to the community and the constant threats of deportation and on-the-spot death. For example, on December 7, 1941, the Nacht und Nebel(Night and Fog) order was issued to deter resistance by allowing military courts to swiftly sentence resisters to death. Those arrested under this order were said to have disappeared into the "night and fog."
