It would seem some Germans were more in tune with "Senagalese tradition" than others. Particularly the members of the Waffen-SS and various death squads employed in the East.

Gee, Tom, name me one country involved in any recent war that didn't indulge in a little extra-curricular murder.

It is an analogy from the world of education: curricular = on the curriculum (part of the official, approved programme of study); extra-curricular = not approved or not official, something extra.

In the present context, I meant that murder of one's enemies (real enemies or imagined ones) was inherent in Nazi ideology and practice.

May I recommend a book that I have just read? "The Coming of the Third Reich" by Richard J. Evans. Or "Hitler's Willing Executioners" by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen.

The differences between the philosophies and actions of the Nazi regime and those of the governments of France or Britain are, I would suggest, significant.

Will heartily endorse Evan's work and would add to Nick's list, "Nazism and War" by Richard Bessel. For a work on the Eastern Front, see also "The Eastern Front 1941-45, German Troops and the Barbarisation of Warfare" by Omer Bartov

All very enlightening with regards to Nazi mentality and philosophy
