Ja. Hij heeft duidelijk het boek gelezen van Ford Madox Ford: Parade's end.

De auteur heeft zelf in de loopgraven van WO I gezeten en daarvóór gezien hoeveel 'zin' de mensen hadden in oorlog. Ook, misschien vooral, de #intelligentsia.

@BrianJopek. Did you plant a chip in my head while I was sleeping?🤣

"Once more, the Führer must point out that the Poles can only have one master, and that is the German; two masters cannot and must not exist side by side; therefore, all representatives of the Polish intelligentsia should be eliminated [umbringen]. This sounds harsh, but such are the laws of life."

The purpose of the murder of the intelligentsia and the social élites of Poland was to prevent them from organising the Poles against their German masters, and thwart the occupation and colonisation of the country; the mass murder was to occur before the annexation of Poland to the Greater Germanic Reich.
