| Re: Um... Reader of the Books? I have felt that some of the books try to show more of that side of things.
It also seems to tie in with the general feeling about Germany during the late 30's and into WW2 (which seems to equate to the Empire) where the general population were not necessarily evil but accepted things that happened because it was happening to someone else, combined with a good propoganda machine that explained why it was right.
You will see examples in the books where officers are in conflict between orders and morality or choosing to live on a segregated planet as that felt right. |
