Most shocking thing I learn so far about real Nazi life:
Another surprising matter was the number of officers and soldiers
sitting together in gay parties throughout the audience. I had already
noted instances of this in North Germany, but not to the same extent.
Recalling as I did the rigid caste lines in both the old Imperial Army
and the small professional Reichswehr established after the World
War, it took me some time to get used to these evidences of social
fraternization. The new trend is due to two causes. In the first place, it
is part of the Nazi philosophy to break down class and caste
distinctions, and weld the whole nation into a conscious Gemeinschaft
— an almost mystical communion, as contrasted with the rest of the
world. In such a socialized nationhood, the traditional caste barriers,
first between officers and soldiers, secondly between army and
civilians, are obviously out of line. The present German army is
undoubtedly more of a Volksheer — a People’s Army, than it ever was
before. This new tendency is also furthered by the fact that with better
education, specialization, and technical training of the rank-and-file,
officers and men are more nearly on the same plane. The old Imperial
Army, unmechanized and made up so largely of peasant lads
commanded by Junker squires, was a vastly different institution.
Yet, despite all social changes, military discipline and authority do not
seem to have suffered. No matter how friendly men and officers may
be off duty, the heel-clicking and stiff saluting on duty are as

And here, in contrast, is what (((wikipedia))) has to say about Frau Scholtz-Klink:
Fucking kikes.
