So today you have Americans doing genocide in Gaza, waging multiple drone wars, erecting both international and domestic concentration camps, arming and expanding violent secret police, all of this starting from a baseline of ~2 Million incarcerated.
So did the Nazi Volk have a pop cultural piece like “Ted Lasso” that showed German ‘everyday heroes’ so that they could pretend they and their neighbors were decent? Obviously nobody is going to want to curate stuff like that to watch later, after it has been proven in blood that they were genocidal monsters. At the time though, they must have written about their day-to-day culture, commented on what they were reading or whatever. Maybe it was some sort of serial in their equivalent to the Saturday Evening Post?
I don’t read German so it is hard for me to look into it myself.

I believe to truly get an idea for it you need to imagine what life was like inside Nazi Germany. Media was heavily controlled and propaganda had its own department so indulging in things unrelated could be difficult depending on the source. I’d recently read some reddit threads on it so I’ll site one as an example: reddit.com/…/what_was_life_like_for_citizens_unde…
