4 Hoss, Commandant of Auschwitz. See also Hannah Arendt, who comments in the same vein on Adolf Eichmann in Eichmann in Jerusalem(London and New York, 1963).

In general as in particular, nearly everything is interchangeable with this type - emphatic evidence for the drive toward standardisation inherent in totalitarian training.
