1 “Rudolf Höss (German spelling: Höß; not to be confused with Rudolf Hess), the commandant of Auschwitz, wrote after the war that many of the Einsatzkommandos involved in the mass shootings went mad or committed suicide, 'unable to endure wading through blood any longer.'”
“Some high-ranking leaders from the Nazi Party and the SS were sent to Auschwitz on occasion to witness the gassings. Höss wrote that although 'all were deeply impressed by what they saw,' some 'who had previously spoken most loudly about the necessity for this extermination fell silent once they had actually seen the “final solution of the Jewish problem”.' Höss was repeatedly asked how he could stomach the exterminations. He justified them by explaining 'the iron determination with which we must carry out Hitler’s orders,' but found that even '[Adolf] Eichmann, who [was] certainly tough enough, had no wish to change places with me.'”
