| Berlinski goes on to say this: "What Hitler did not believe and what Stalin did not believe and what Mao did not believe and what the SS did not believe and what the Gestapo did not believe and what the NKVD did not believe and what the commissars, functionaries, swaggering executioners, Nazi doctors, Communist Party theoreticians, intellectuals, Brown Shirts, Black Shirts, gauleiters, and a thousand party hacks did not believe that God was watching what they were doing. Mazower shows that there were no agreed policies, because of the very subjective nature of racial judgments and because, by setting his Gauleiters and the SS in opposition, both to each other and to the army and the civil service, Hitler was courting chaos.
