The Jew was portrayed as a rat, a thief a traitor and the rapist of young Aryan girls. Over and Over through the print and film media these images were imprinted in the minds and souls of the German people with the intent to totally dehumanize every Jew. The S.S. were no longer killing human beings, they were merely inoculating the German people against a dangerous virus. There was a clear separation of their earlier moral codes into a duality that allowed them to lead separate lives. Their personal lives were still grounded in traditional values, but their military world had only one moral guideline, the will of the Fuhrer.
