In the days before Wannsee Conference (Nazis setting up death camps) but after the invasion of Poland where most executions occurred by firing squad, there were German tourists who would travel to partake in the firing squads.

There’s white-collar workers doing their morning commute in full-size pickups telling themselves that mass transit is for dirty poor people not therm
