But to quote the article:

“Did I make a mistake? No. The mistake was that it was a concentration camp, but I had to go to it, otherwise I would have been put into it myself. That was my mistake.”

That was an excuse former guards often gave. But it was not true. Records show that some new recruits did leave RavensbrĂźck as soon as they realised what the job involved. They were allowed to go and did not suffer negative consequences.

Making others suffer is appealing to some people.

I could also point out that Anakin never went on a “damn fool idealistic crusade” either.

A recording:

Warning, it is staticky and full of pops, but that’s what you get with an old, vaudeville record.
