Postwar conditions taught Europeans that middle-level Nazi sympathizing was the safest position

Evidence

What has the average European learnt for the future from postwar conditions in Germany? He is forced to the conclusion that in periods of totalitarianism it is not wise to stand at the top, but advisable and even advantageous to be among the sympathizers; that it may be risky to be actively involved in the worst atrocities, but is entirely safe to commit more minor crimes. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1718 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
